West Kelowna RCMP are asking the public for help finding three people wanted on arrest warrants in a kidnapping investigation, and their message is blunt: do not approach them.

The warrants relate to an incident on August 26, 2026, at about 10:15 p.m., when a victim was allegedly assaulted and forcibly taken from a business on Industrial Road in West Kelowna.

Charges have been laid, and the warrants are unendorsed, meaning the three are to be held once located.

Who police are looking for

Crystal Richard is wanted for kidnapping, aggravated assault, and assault with a weapon. She is described as an Indigenous woman, 178 cm (5'10"), 69 kg, slender build, brown eyes, with long brown shoulder-length hair.

Briaden Rosch is wanted for two counts of kidnapping, forcible confinement, aggravated assault, assault with a weapon, and assault causing bodily harm. He is described as a Caucasian man, 183 cm (6'0"), 91 kg, stocky build, green eyes, short brown-blonde hair, and a full blonde-red beard.

Scott Chambers is wanted for kidnapping, aggravated assault, and assault with a weapon. He is described as a Caucasian man, 183 cm (6'0"), 82 kg, fair complexion, hazel eyes, and black hair.

Police believe the three may be travelling throughout British Columbia.

What to do if you see them

Do not approach them. Call police immediately.

Anyone with information about their whereabouts is asked to contact the West Kelowna RCMP at 250-768-2880, quoting file 2026-55145.

Those who wish to remain anonymous can contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or submit a tip online.

"This investigation remains active and investigators continue to work to locate these individuals," said Cst. Ash Puri, Media Relations Officer for West Kelowna RCMP.

"We are asking anyone who has information about their whereabouts to contact police immediately."

These are allegations, and the accused are presumed innocent until proven guilty.

But the warrants are real, the charges are serious, and the police are asking the Central Okanagan to keep its eyes open.

If you see one of these three, make the call.
