Recent Multiple Police Incidents In Campbell River

Three people are facing charges after an incident last week in Campbell River.

On Friday, RCMP responded to a complaint of a possible abduction and subsequent extortion of a 39-year-old man.

Police quickly responded and located the man along with three suspects at the TD Bank on Hilchey Road.

Officers were able to arrest the suspects without incident. RCMP have forwarded a number of criminal charges against the three accused.

Two of the accused were held in custody while the third was released. All three suspects are to appear in court at a later date.

Campbell River officers were also busy with a couple other incidents to start the month.

Last Thursday, police responded to a domestic dispute and attempted to arrest a 21-year old man - an officer fractured his wrist during a struggle with the suspect.

On Saturday, officers subdued a 57-year old man who witnesses said was seen carrying several knives on Maryland Rd in Campbell River.

As police were approaching, the suspect threw one of the knives at an officer, striking him in the face. The suspect then turned the knife on himself but police were able to subdue him and get him to hospital. The case is still under investigation.
