Feb 6, 2019 | 10:40 AM

SALMON ARM, B.C. — Police across the Shuswap and the North Okanagan are asking for the public’s help in locating an armed robbery suspect.

Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP say in a news release that police have been searching for 29-year-old Michael David Trosky for two months.

That detachment is working with the Salmon Arm and Sicamous RCMP to try and locate Trosky.

He’s wanted on outstanding warrants in relation to a series of alleged crimes in the Okanagan and Shuswap areas.

On Dec. 17, 2018, Salmon Arm RCMP responded to a report of an armed robbery of a delivery driver. One suspect was arrested following this, but police say Trosky managed to evade police at the time. He’s now facing charges of attempted armed robbery, dangerous driving, flight from police, assault with a weapon and failing to stop.

If you have any information about Trosky, call police or Crime Stoppers at 1 (800) 222-8477.
