KAMLOOPS — Two men were arrested after a carjacking in Lower Sahali Wednesday (Sept. 6) afternoon.

In a news release, Kamloops RCMP say officers were called to a gas station parking lot on the 800-block of Columbia Street West at around 4:20 p.m. where a woman reported being robbed of her phone and black Mazda at knifepoint.

“Thanks to the response of multiple police units throughout the city, police quickly located the vehicle just off of Highway 5 and surrounded it on G and M Road,” Cpl Crystal Evelyn says. “Two Kamloops men in their 30s were arrested and held in custody.”

Both men’s matters are before the courts.
