KAMLOOPS — Police say a local motel was robbed Monday and a suspect is on the loose after evading a police search.

About 10:15 PM Monday night, a man entered the Howard Johnson Inn on West Columbia Street and pointed what appeared to be a gun at the clerk behind the desk.

The suspect went to the cash drawer and took some money. At the same time, he ordered the clerk into a back room.

The man then left. The clerk wasn’t injured in the incident.
