KAMLOOPS — A common area of a building on the 200-block of Victoria Street West was cleared out Saturday (Feb. 6) after suspected bear spray was released in the front entrance.
Kamloops RCMP were called to the scene around 8 p.m Saturday and discovered an orange residue on the wall and floor. RCMP say it made it difficult for some people to breathe.
Police reviewed surveillance footage and noticed three men had approached the entrance around 7:36 p.m. One of them released a spray before they all fled.
Two of the men seen in the video were wearing dark clothing and appeared to have their hoods up. One of them carried two bags, one dark and the other orange. Another suspect who fled on a red bike appeared to be Caucasian with a yellow or bright green camo jacket.
