KAMLOOPS — Police in Kamloops are searching for a suspect involved in a second daytime robbery this week.
RCMP say on Wednesday (June 8) around 4:40 p.m., officers were called to the 800-block of Columbia Street for a report of a man who walked into a store with a bandana over his face, pulled out what appeared to be a gun, then demanded cash, lotto tickets, and energy drinks.
“Officers arrived on scene almost immediately but the culprit fled on a bike into a residential area,” says Corporal Crystal Evelyn of Kamloops RCMP, “The Police Dog Service Unit attended and was able to track evidence related to the investigation, but the suspect managed to escape.”
