A man has been arrested after an assault on two women in the North Shore area of Kamloops Saturday.
Mounties were called to a home on Fortune Drive for a report of two women being assaulted.
Police say the suspect, a 22-year-old man, left the home with two small children.
“Kamloops RCMP frontline and Police Dog Services officers flooded the area in an effort to locate the suspect and children, combing nearby locations and causing minor disruptions to traffic on the bridges leading from the North Shore,” said Sgt. Janelle Shoihet.
The suspect was found soon afterwards at a park on Schubert Drive. He was arrested without incident and remains in custody.
The children were returned unharmed.
