Kelowna RCMP are releasing few details about a sensitive investigation after officers with the heavily-armed Emergency Response Team made in arrest in Rutland this morning.

Police arrested a person at approximately 10 a.m. today, Feb. 1, outside a business at the Plaza 33 strip mall in the 300 block of Highway 33, according to an RCMP news release.

RCMP said one of the surrounding businesses, including a nearby financial institution, were involved in the incident and there's no concern for public safety.

"The investigation is sensitive in nature, remains ongoing and with that no further details regarding what our officers are investigating will be provided at this time," the release read.

RCMP promise to release more information to the public "as it becomes available."

As a political scientist interested in social justice issues and current events, I hold topics of
politics, inequalities, community news, arts, and culture close to my heart. I find myself
privileged to be reporting local news, because local journalism is where us citizens go to get
access to information and news that directly impact our livelihoods. That is what I love about
it; I believe journalism to be the most important part for our community to be aware,
informed, and tightly bonded by the knowledge of what is happening around us. I am a fierce
believer in journalism being the fourth power of a democracy because, famously, knowledge
is power, and journalism puts that power in the hands of our community so that we can
continue growing, building bonds between each other and continuously keep learning about
ourselves.
