鈥淎ny video capturing evidence of a criminal offence should be reported immediately to the police and not circulated publicly,鈥 

Kelowna RCMP stated its investigation is ongoing and sensitive in nature. Only limited details will be provided to protect the integrity of the investigation, the youth suspects, and any potential judicial proceedings, according to police.

RCMP said there were several other incidents on the evening of Sept. 27, specifically in the 3000-block area of Lakeshore Road, and other acts of violence over the weekend went unreported.

鈥淎ll acts of violence towards youth should be reported to police,鈥 Pollock added. 鈥淭ogether as a community, we must double down our efforts to stop this criminality and deter violence against youth.鈥
