Altercation with people experiencing homelessness at Kelowna Walmart
No charges were laid
A case of trespassing led to a police presence at the Kelowna Walmart on Wednesday.
Kelowna RCMP were called to the scene after a group of people experiencing homelessness refused to leave the property. They then became “a bit aggressive” when asked to leave, said Media Relations Officer Cst. Mike Della Paolera.
Backup was then called for, with several officers arriving though Della-Paolera said the heavier-than-usual police presence was “just timing more than anything.”
The file was closed, and no charges were laid.
