RCMP say they're in the midst of a "high risk police operation" in a trailer park along Highway 5, just North of the South Thompson River, involving a person with a firearm.
Police are asking anyone who sees anything suspicious to call them. They're also requesting residents of the trailer park to keep themselves safe and to remain inside their residences with doors locked.
“We are are asking the public not to share any information about specific police activities or locations on social media,” says Cpl.

Highway 5 is shut down in both directions at Mt. Paul Way and Valleyview exchange. Motorists are also advised to avoid this area.
