KAMLOOPS — Police are investigating a robbery at McCleaners in downtown Kamloops.
Kamloops RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Jodi Shelkie says in a news release that police are asking for the public’s help in identifying the suspect.
This is the fourth robbery of a downtown Kamloops business in less than one month, although it’s not clear if the incidents are connected.
A man entered the McCleaners on Seymour Street at roughly 11:30 a.m. today (Jan. 28), brandishing a knife and a hammer.
Shelkie says he went to the cash register and took money that was inside, then left on foot. The clerk was not injured.
The suspect is described as 5’10”, either Caucasian or First Nations, and wearing a grey hoodie with stripes on the lower sleeves, jeans and black runners.
