KAMLOOPS — Kamloops Mounties are looking for witnesses after a stolen vehicle rammed a police care Thursday (Dec. 15) night.

On Dec. 15, 2022, around 7:35 p.m., police received a report of a grey BMW sedan that had been stolen from the Tournament Capital Centre on the 900-block of McGill Road between 6:30 p.m. and 7:20 p.m., following the theft of a backpack containing its keys.

Around 8:40 p.m., Kamloops RCMP frontline officers located the vehicle on the 1300-block of Cornwall Street.

The driver of the BMW – described as a Caucasian woman, 25-30 years old, with dirty blond or brown hair — then allegedly drove into the front of a stationary police vehicle and fled the area. Officers noted a male passenger was in the BMW as well.

The police officer was uninjured and their vehicle only received minor damage. The BMW was located vacated on the 900-block of Renfrew Street.
