Police are asking residents to please check their security cameras after three suspects fled through the downtown area early this morning.
On Nov. 22, 2024, around 4:40 a.m. a Kamloops RCMP frontline officer was patrolling the Halston Connector, when he attempted to conduct a traffic stop on a truck and trailer -- but it fled from police.
The investigation would later reveal that the truck and trailer were both stolen, and firearms were present inside the vehicle, said Corporal Crystal Evelyn, Kamloops RCMP Detachment spokesperson.

Attempts to stop the suspect on Mount Paul Way were also unsuccessful, as the truck and trailer fled onto the highway, struck a semi-truck, then entered the city, where its trailer struck several parked vehicles before dislodging on Battle Street. Another vehicle was located inside the trailer.
The suspects continued on in the truck, then abandoned it on Bluff Place and fled on foot, added Cpl. Evelyn. Three suspects were seen running throughout the downtown and through backyards, as police officers, including the Police Dog Service Unit, looked for them.

A dog was also located inside the truck and taken to the animal shelter. The truck, described as a silver crew cab with a canopy, was reported stolen out of Williams Lake; the trailer from Quesnel.
Occurrences such as these which involve the presence of stolen vehicles and firearms, are very concerning to police and the public, and we are asking residents to please check their video and dash cameras for any alerts from the early morning hours, that could be related to this ongoing investigation, said Cpl. Evelyn.
