RCMP monitoring "Creepy Clown" phenomenon

Kamloops RCMP aren't laughing about the creepy clown phenomenonthat is sweeping social media.

It began in the United States and has crept across North America.

A person dresses up in a scary clown costumeand then goes out in public to scare total strangers.

In many cases the prank has back-fired.

A student in Prince George was recently arrestedfor posting an image online of clowns with guns.

The text read "Every school in PG about to get hit."
