Two males were arrested for mischief early Friday in Williams Lake for a suspected break and enter to a business.

Staff Sgt. Del Byron, who was off duty at the time, was walking alone south bound on Oliver Street Friday at approximately 5:45 a.m. when he heard voices coming from the top of BFF Fashions at 190B Oliver Street.

Byron observed three Caucasian males yelling and suspected a possible break and enter in progress.

Calling dispatch immediately, Byron requested two members attend the scene.

When police arrived they observed the three males, now on top of the old theatre building further down the block, in the process of coming off the roof into the back alley.

Two adult males were arrested and an unknown third male fled on foot.

The matter is still under investigation.

Meanwhile, one man was arrested for assault in connection with an attack of two males near 7-Eleven this week.

On Jan. 26 at 5:03 p.m. BC Ambulance called the RCMP letting them know there was an unconscious male lying on the sidewalk at 320 Proctor Street.

Police responded and located two injured males at the 7-Eleven parking lot.

One was semi-conscious and the other was bloodied from an alleged attack by three other men, RCMP said.

The victims were brothers and both were taken to the hospital.

Police learned a verbal exchange had taken place with the one brother outside the store while the other brother was inside the store.

At some point three males are alleged to have turned on the one brother outside the store, throwing him to the ground, and repeatedly kicking and punching him to the point where the one brother lost consciousness.

The brother in the store came to the aid of his injured brother.

The three males then fled across the Red Tomato Pies parking lot and up the hill between Carson Drive and the Cariboo Memorial Complex.

One of the alleged attackers who was wearing a green hat was identified, arrested on Thursday, Jan. 28,  and released on a Promise to Appear, with a first appearance date of March 9, 2016.

The matter remains under investigation.

If anyone has any information they area asked to please call the RCMP or Crime Stoppers.
