KAMLOOPS — Kamloops RCMP are looking for witnesses and video following a vehicle fire at a downtown business early Wednesday (Oct. 19) morning.

In a news release, RCMP say officers and Kamloops Fire Rescue were called to the 200-block of Victoria Street West at around 6:30 a.m. where an SUV was fully engulfed in flames. The business has been identified as TRU Market Auto Sales, owned by Kamloops mayor-elect Reid Hamer-Jackson.

“Police have located and spoke with one person observed in the area at the time of the blaze,” Cpl. Crystal Evelyn says. “Officers are currently reviewing security footage to see if they can confirm and identify the presence of two other people who were also allegedly in the area and may have information relevant to the investigation. In the meantime, we are releasing an image of the vehicle in case anyone witnessed or captured dash camera footage of it before or during the blaze.”
