File # 2022-27566

The Kamloops RCMP Detachment is reaching out to the community following a series of complaints involving cosmetic procedures performed out of a private residence.

On Aug. 17, 2022, police arrested a woman and executed a search warrant at a North Shore residence as part of an ongoing investigation into alleged fraudulent medical services.

Police were made aware of the allegations earlier this month and since then, investigators have spoken to several people who have reported receiving botched procedures, said Corporal Crystal Evelyn, Kamloops RCMP spokesperson. We believe there may be more people with information who have not yet come forward, and encourage them to do so to help further the investigation.

The suspect was arrested and released on conditions, pending the investigation’s conclusion and subsequent charge recommendation and approval process. As no criminal charges have been approved and the investigation is still ongoing, no further information will be provided at this time.

Anyone with information is asked to please contact the Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000.
