KAMLOOPS — A 49-year-old man has been arrested by Kamloops RCMP after he allegedly drove a van through a tire shop’s garage door.

Kamloops RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Jodi Shelkie says early Saturday morning (Apr. 11), police were notified of a break and enter at Integra Tire on Notre Dame Drive.

When officers arrived, they found someone had broken into the building, then drove a van that was inside one of the bays through the garage door.

Shelkie says an hour later, an officer on patrol saw a van matching the description. She initiated a traffic stop but the driver got out and fled.

Two police officers chased the suspect, and Shelkie says after a brief struggle he was taken into custody.
