Kamloops Mounties brought a man who had been wanted for months on a provincial warrant into custody earlier this month.
Eric Joseph Heidemann, 33, was wanted out of Quesnel in connection to charges of forcible confinement, break and enter with intent, disguising a face with intent, aggravated assault, possession of a restricted weapon and more.
The Kamloops RCMP detachment learned on Nov. 10 that Heidemann was in town and called in specialized units to assist with the apprehension of the wanted man.
He was located in the area of Notre Dame Drive and Dalhousie Drive, safely surrounded and taken into custody without incident.
“This is a great example of Kamloops frontline officers, the Police Dog Service, Crime Reduction and Targeted Enforcement units and probation working together to locate and apprehend an offender with a history of firearms and serious offences,” said Sgt. Todd Woon.
“The professionalism of all those involved led to the accused being isolated from the public in a high traffic area and safely taken into custody.”
The 33-year-old was remanded in custody and is scheduled to appear in court next on Nov. 29.
Anyone with information that could help investigators’ case against Heidemann is urged to contact the Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000.
