Kamloops RCMP searching for suspects in Dufferin break-in

KAMLOOPS —Kamloops RCMP is looking for information after a resident in Dufferin was woken by intruders over the weekend.

In a news release issued Wednesday (Feb. 7) morning, police say officers responded to the 1400-block of Cannel Drive at around 4:15 a.m. Saturday (Feb. 3) where two men reportedly broke into a home.

Police say the two suspects left when confronted by one of the residents. No one was injured and nothing appeared to be stolen.

RCMP reviewed nearby security footage which showed two people running from the area at two separate times that morning: just after 2:15 a.m., and again a couple of hours later, just before police were contacted around 4:12 a.m., at which point the suspects had a little more distance between them.

“The images are not clear, but we are releasing one to the public in an effort to try and identify who the people might be, and also request that those in the neighbourhood check any dash cam or security footage to see if it captured anything that could be related,” Cpl. Crystal Evelyn says.

“Maybe two people were observed running to another residence or to a vehicle nearby. It’s possible something was recorded around either of those times that may have seemed insignificant initially.”

One of the suspects observed was described as a white man standing 5’10” with short, brown hair. He was reportedly wearing black pants and a black hoodie with white writing on it.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Kamloops RCMP.
