KAMLOOPS — Police are investigating after an alleged armed robbery in downtown Kamloops this afternoon.

A man stopped an on-duty Kamloops RCMP officer near the Acadian Inn on Columbia Street, and said two male acquaintances — one of whom allegedly brandished a knife — had entered his room and demanded the victim turn over his wallet.

Kamloops RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Jodi Shelkie says there was a physical altercation between the victim and the suspects, before the two suspects fled the scene. 

Officers located one suspect a short distance away and took him into custody.
