Braaten was arrested without incident, following an investigation that led police to the house at the Tk’emlups reserve.

Hugh Alexander McIntosh, 51, was also wanted for Glover’s murder, and was arrested last week in Langley.

The pair were known to police and known to be involved in the drug trade in Kamloops.
