Unwanted downtown guests

Two men and a woman were arrested then released with court dates and conditions after someone noticed people in a downtown home when no one was supposed to be inside.

RCMP say officers were called to the home on the 500-block of Nicola Street Sunday where a person had entered the basement suite of a house that was supposed to be vacant.

Officers found a broken door and three people sleeping inside who reportedly did not have permission to be there. RCMP say break-in tools and property believed to be stolen were also seized.

Downtown break-in and theft

RCMP are looking for witnesses and information related to a smash and grab in downtown Kamloops.

At around 11:20 p.m. Sunday, RCMP say officers were called to the 200-block of Victoria Street, where a business had its glass door broken and beauty products and jewelry stolen.

Anyone with information or video related to the investigation is asked to contact Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000.
