KAMLOOPS — RCMP would like your help tracking down an elusive Honda Civic that officers believe is stolen.

In a news release, Kamloops RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Crystal Evelyn says the vehicle in question was reported stolen on Saturday (Sept. 23) from a gas station on the Tk’emlups reserve.

On Tuesday, officers located the vehicle on the East Trans Canada Highway frontage road near a Valleyview motel.

“Officers attempted to stop the Honda, but it fled on the highway at a high rate of speed,” said Evelyn. “In the early hours of this morning, around 1:40 a.m., Thursday (Sept. 28), a vehicle believed to be the same one was spotted again by police, this time on Victoria Street.”

The officer saw the car speed off eastbound, entering the oncoming lane of traffic and running a red light at Battle Street and Columbia Street.

“We are releasing an image of the vehicle with the hope that someone will recognize and have information related to its whereabouts and activities,” added Evelyn. “The Honda is a common colour and model, and may be changing its license plates, but there is a chance someone observed a vehicle only recently show up in an area, or involved in suspicious activities, that causes them to believe it could be the same one.”

Anyone with information on the vehicle is asked to contact Kamloops RCMP at (250) 828-3000 and refer to file number 2023-34967.
