KAMLOOPS — A Kamloops is facing a series of charges after an alleged robbery and assault in the downtown Sunday morning (July 3).

In a news release, Kamloops RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Crystal Evelyn says members were called to Fourth Avenue and Victoria Street Sunday morning at about 10:25. Several people told officers an armed man had attacked and robbed another man before fleeing on foot.

The victim was taken to hospital for treatment on non-life threatening injuries.

“Police located the suspect on a pedestrian bridge and arrested him,” said Evelyn. “Thanks to the assistance of a civilian, who helped direct police to the suspect’s location, and the quick response of the frontline officers, the suspect was safely taken into custody without incident.”

Andrew Jules Spencer Gizuk, 29, is charged with robbery, assault with a weapon, threatening to use a weapon, possession a weapon for dangerous purposes and failing to comply with a probation order.
