Abduction Attempt

Abduction report from Dallas neighbourhood leads to one arrest: Kamloops RCMP

Dec 23, 2025 | 11:08 AM

KAMLOOPS — While one abduction report that triggered a police chase on the North Shore was found to be non-credible, Kamloops RCMP made an arrest to a similar incident on Monday (Dec. 22). 

At around noon Monday, Kamloops RCMP say police received a report of a possible abduction in the Dallas neighbourhood where a woman was seen being forced into a vehicle by a man. 

From there, police say the vehicle drove east and was eventually located at a gas station on the 1200-block of Dallas Drive. The man was arrested without incident, and the woman was found safe. 

“This was a swift response to a serious report of a person being abducted,” Kamloops RCMP Supt. Jeff Pelley says. “This took significant coordination with many support units assisting in a dynamic unfolding event to bring this to a safe conclusion.” 

In a news release issued Tuesday (Dec. 23) morning, RCMP note that a heavy police presence could be seen throughout Kamloops and the surrounding area over several hours Monday.
