Kamloops Mounties always get their men, or so it seems after targeting prolific and well-known offenders resulting in eight people arrested, four firearms seized, and 37 charges approved over the month of July.
One of the investigations included stopping a motorcyclist on July 18, who was eventually arrested after reportedly kicking a police officer. A gun was also seized during the arrest. Richard Graham remains in custody awaiting a bail hearing. He is currently charged with 10 offences, including possessing prohibited firearms and assaulting a police officer.
Superintendent Jeff Pelley of the Kamloops RCMP said that between July 10 and July 19, there were seven arrests, including multiple investigations of warrant executions, stolen vehicles, weapon and drug offences, and intimate partner violence.
