The Independent Investigations Office of B.C. is now investigating after an arrest attempt went wrong in Kamloops on Thursday.
Around 2 a.m. police received a report of a stolen bicycle in a North Shore neighbourhood.
The police investigation led to the recovery of the bike and a police dog located a 16-year-old girl, believed to be associated with the theft, under a dock at the riverbank near Royal Avenue.
The girl was arrested but managed to escape from police custody and jumped into the Thompson River. She was found safe and sound on July 2 in Prince George.
Police are continuing their investigation.
