Uniform pieces stolen from retired British military veteran in Valleyview

KAMLOOPS — Kamloops RCMP are appealing to the public on behalf of a retired British military veteran whose uniform was stolen.

The items were stolen from a shipping container located on Vicars Road in Valleyview. While the theft could have taken place any time over the past few weeks, it was only noticed Monday (Feb. 13).

Pieces stolen include a military beret, camouflage jacket and pants, a large green backpack and jumper vest, black army boots and a belt.

“The items stolen were of a great sentimental value to the owner,” said detachment spokesperson Cpl. Crystal Evelyn. “If you took them, or know someone who recently came into possession of some military clothing, please contact police so that we can help facilitate their return.”
