KAMLOOPS — Police have released pictures of a pair of masked suspects who allegedly robbed a person in downtown Kamloops early Sunday (May 6) morning in the hopes of identifying one or both of them.

They say the robbery is believed to have happened on the 500-block of Victoria Street downtown around 5:00 a.m. Sunday. It was reported to police about an hour later.

In a statement, Kamloops RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Crystal Evelyn says the person who was robbed was in their vehicle in a parking lot, when they were approached by two masked men.

“The suspects robbed the victim of items in their possession, then attempted to steal their vehicle too, but failed when they realized they were unable to drive a standard transmission,” Evelyn said, noting the suspects later ran westbound down a nearby alley.

“As part of their investigation, police have obtained suspect images and are releasing them to the public in hopes that someone can identify them.”
