PREVIOUSLY:
RCMP activity continued at a residence on Western Avenue in Williams Lake on Nov. 14.
While RCMP said their operation was complete after streets were closed and outside resources brought in to gain entry to a house on Nov. 13, police had returned to the residence multiple times since the previous day.
Later the same night, RCMP returned to the house and a suspect was reportedly observed fleeing along Western Avenue. RCMP were then spotted on Clearview Crescent, the street below the residence, using drones and a dog handler.
Five more RCMP vehicles were at the residence midday on Thursday, Nov. 14 and a gold-coloured GMC pickup truck was parked in the alley behind the residence with one flat tire and assorted items in the pickup bed.
The garage appeared to have been gone through since the previous operation, with a toolbox standing open and a van parked in the driveway left with the door ajar.
By shortly after 12 p.m., most of the police had left the property, while at least one RCMP officer and a vehicle remained at the residence.
RCMP have not responded to inquiries about the operation as of press time but the story will be updated should more information become available.
This story has been updated to include additional details.
