KAMLOOPS — A Kamloops man has been arrested after he was seen allegedly breaking into vehicles.
On Feb. 3 at 1:15 a.m., Kamloops RCMP say an alert citizen on Springhill Drive called the police to report that he could see a man trying the door handles of vehicles parked on the street, and at one point saw the man get into a vehicle for a short time, and then exit the vehicle.
Police attended and located the suspect a short distance away, Kamloops RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Jodi Shelkie says. The 39-year-old man was arrested and found to be in possession of two backpacks, one of which was determined to have just been taken from a nearby vehicle.
“Kamloops RCMP are grateful to the citizen who called to report this suspicious activity,” states Shelkie. “He was an excellent witness who gave us a good description of the suspect and a direction of travel.”
