KAMLOOPS — They say the early bird gets the worm, or in this case, a 30 year old suspect.

Police received a call this morning, June 7, at 6:00 a.m. from an alert citizen who noticed a suspicious individual sifting through his neighbour’s car in the Sahali area.

The caller provided police with a detailed description of the suspect, and shortly after, the Mounties had their man.

During the pursuit, the man ditched a backpack that was later located and appeared to contain a number of stolen items as well as drugs.
