The sounds of someone screaming on Seymour Street brought police to a person in possession of a prohibited weapon.

On June 13, 2024, around 7 p.m., Kamloops RCMP frontline officers attended the parking lot of a commercial location on the 600-block of Seymour Street after hearing screams and located a large group of people.

One of the people in the group allegedly raised their arm and pointed toward where they thought the screams were coming from, revealing a pair of brass knuckles on his hand, said Corporal Crystal Evelyn, Kamloops RCMP spokesperson.

Police inquiries also discovered the suspect was on conditions not to possess weapons. As part of the investigation, officers additionally located and seized a bag of suspected meth. The suspect was arrested, transported to cells, and later released with a court date and conditions. Charge recommendations are anticipated as part of the assessment process.

Anyone with information related to this investigation is asked to please contact the Kamloops RCMP Detachment at 250-828-3000 and reference file 2024-18360.
