HOPE – Mounties in Hope say two people have been arrested following reports of a robbery and an assault earlier this week.

According to a statement from Upper Fraser Valley RCMP spokesperson Corporal Carmen Kiener, RCMP members responded Monday evening, Feb. 9, at 10:02 p.m., to an alleged robbery at a hotel in Hope. Witnesses told police that two men allegedly entered the premises, assaulted an employee, and fled the scene with items from the hotel.

The following day on Tuesday morning, Feb. 10, at about 9:03 a.m., police were called to an alleged assault at a residence in Hope. One male victim was located at a nearby hospital with injuries while another male victim was located inside the residence and taken to hospital. Police believe there may be a connection to the incident from the previous day.

Later in the afternoon on Tuesday, February 10, Hope RCMP officers, with assistance of RCMP Air Services and the RCMP Integrated Police Dog Services, located and arrested two persons of interest in a nearby community. Police did not reveal the name of the city or community where they were arrested.

Cpl. Kiener says the police investigation remains ongoing and a report to Crown Counsel will be submitted.
