———————————

RCMP officers investigated an area near Wright’s Beach Camp and RV Park on Skaha Lake Sunday morning.

Three police vehicles were parked in front of the entrance to the park at 5:30 a.m. and sirens were heard about an hour earlier, believed to be arriving at that location.

There were reports on social media that a woman heard a vehicle “squeal off and a man started yelling for help” in the early morning.

A portion of the Skaha Lake Park walking path was closed near the area with yellow police tape sectioning it off. However, the beach itself was reportedly still open to the public.

Police were unavailable for comment at this time.
