KAMLOOPS — A 43-year-old man has been arrested after breaking into a city-owned building and being caught by a civilian.

Kamloops RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Jodi Shelkie says in a news release that a citizen called police to report that he could see someone inside the warehouse on Mission Flats Road at roughly 6:00 a.m. today, Oct. 15. Officers arrived and the canine unit tracked down the suspect hiding inside.

Shelkie says the suspect had forced a door open to gain entry, but nothing was taken from the building.

The suspect has been released with a future court date, and he was previously known to police and is from Kamloops.
