 Just before 10 a.m., members of the Kamloops RCMP Detachment’s Crime Reduction Unit (CRU), with the support of frontline officers, attended a residence on the 1800-block of Parkcrest Avenue where they executed a search warrant as part of a property crime investigation.

A portion of the roadway near Laroque Street was closed for about two hours while police officers were present. A stolen ebike and dirt bike were recovered from the address.

Just before 2 p.m., a suspect was arrested on Tranquille Road as part of the ongoing investigation. He remains in custody.
