KAMLOOPS — RCMP investigators say a series of break-ins in an around Kamloops Tuesday morning (May 2) may be related.

Tk’emlups Rural RCMP investigators attended to three break-in reports Tuesday in Kamloops, Savona and Skeetchestn. In each incident, suspects wearing high-visibility vests or jackets were involved.

“We are releasing images captured at two of the locations in hopes that someone recognizes, or had recent dealings with anyone they think could be one of the suspects,” said detachment spokesperson Cpl. Crystal Evelyn. “Maybe you work at a business, even one out of town, and have surveillance video that captured people who could be these suspects — you never know what could help further the investigation.”
