The bloody rug turned into the Barriere RCMP detachment was confirmed to have been involved in a violent criminal act.

The RCMP reached out to the public yesterday, April 1, for information. A blue, 5’ by 8’ Ikea rug was turned in with blood on it.

In another release from today, investigators say the rug came from the Kamloops region, and that is was associated with a violent criminal act.

“Investigators believe the nature of the offence was targeted and that no danger to the public exists,” says Staff Sgt. Jason Smart said in the release.

Anybody with information is asked to call the South East District Major Crime Unit Tip Line at 1-877-987-8477.
