Investigation Into Injuries Sustained During Kamloops Arrest Ongoing: IIO
The watchdog said officers used less-lethal force during the arrest, and the woman was later taken to hospital with injuries that triggered review.
- The Independent Investigations Office is investigating a May 4 incident in Kamloops where a woman sustained injuries during an arrest involving police use of less-lethal force.
- An off-duty RCMP officer in the 2100-block of Trans-Canada Hwy East observed a woman hitting store items with an edged weapon and followed her to a second business location.
- During the subsequent interaction at the second business, on-duty RCMP officers deployed less-lethal force options, and the woman sustained injuries meeting the threshold for mandatory IIO notification.
- Following the incident, the woman was transported to a local hospital but left against medical advice while the Independent Investigations Office reviewed body-worn camera footage and medical reports.
- The Independent Investigations Office is canvassing the area and conducting interviews as the investigation continues; the agency requests anyone with relevant information contact the Witness Line at 1-855-446-8477.
