MERRITT, B.C. — Numerous criminal charges have been approved against a Kamloops man accused of carrying out a crime spree across the Thompson Nicola region at the beginning of the month.
“On April 1, 2021, the Logan Lake RCMP was alerted to a suspicious vehicle that was eventually located with a single male occupant in the Logan Lake Library parking lot. When police attempted to stop the vehicle it fled at a high rate of speed. It was later determined to be stolen,” stated Merritt RCMP Sgt. Josh Roda.
The Logan Lake RCMP located the suspect and stolen vehicle a short time later at a private residence in the 8500-block of Highway 97C. The suspect had allegedly broken into the residence and subsequently stole a motorhome, among other property including firearms, and again fled from police towards Merritt.
“The Merritt RCMP successfully deployed a spike belt and stopped the motorhome on a commercial property near the 2600-block of Highway 97C. The suspect driver was taken into police custody,” added Roda.
