File # 2025-9901

Mounties are investigating a stabbing that occurred at a party in Coldstream early Sunday morning.  On Sunday, June 22nd, 2025 around 1 a.m., the Vernon North Okanagan RCMP received a report of a stabbing that had just occurred at a large gathering in Coldstream. When frontline officers arrived at the property on Mackie Drive, they found the 15-year old victim had already been taken to the hospital for treatment. The person allegedly responsible for the assault had driven away before officers arrived but was located and stopped a short time later. The 18-year old suspect was arrested without incident and was later released from custody on conditions pending a future court date.

From the investigation, the incident is believed to have started out as an argument between the suspect and victim. It then escalated into a physical confrontation which led to the suspect allegedly stabbing the victim, who was seriously injuried as a result.

The investigation remains ongoing and anyone who witnessed the incident, and has not yet spoke to police, is asked to contact the Vernon North Okanagan RCMP at (250) 545-7171 and quote file #2025-9901
