A strip mall in Kelowna was the site of a heavy police presence on Thursday morning.
It’s currently unknown what drew several police vehicles to Plaza 33 on Highway 33 in Rutland, including the RCMP’s Southeast District Emergency Response Team.
In a statement issued just before 2 p.m., Kelowna RCMP said the incident did not involve a financial institution in the plaza, nor any of the surrounding businesses.
However, an arrest was made around 10 a.m., though police did not say how many were arrested.
The strip mall wasn’t locked down during the incident.
