KAMLOOPS — RCMP have arrested a suspect after a break-in at the Dallas Kamloops Fire Rescue station this week.

On Wednesday (Jan. 12) at 10:45 a.m., RCMP were called to the fire hall in the 5000-block of Dallas Drive after firefighters discovered it had been burglarized overnight. Thieves stole several radios and chargers, a Forward-Looking Infrared (FLIR) Camera and other pieces of firefighting gear.

Investigators arrested a suspect soon after at a nearby home, finding and returning the stolen property.

A 21-year-old Kamloops man is facing charges for break, enter and theft, theft over $5,000 and possession of stolen property.

RCMP say the same man was also identified in an uttering threats investigation from earlier that day. He is facing charges of uttering threats in relation to that incident.
