Kamloops City, Information Wanted

Kamloops police are hoping the public can help find an unusual piece of surveyor equipment stolen from an alleyway on the North Shore.

On Friday June 14, 2024, around 1 p.m., the Kamloops RCMP Detachment received a report of a theft from a construction site on the 300-block of Campbell Avenue in which a yellow, Topcon attached to a tripod were stolen.

The Topcon is designed to work with its sister piece of equipment, which is how its operators noticed it was missing, said Corporal Crystal Evelyn, Kamloops RCMP Detachment spokesperson. It is useless as a single entity, but holds great value to its owners and is quite unique.

Police are releasing an image of the sister unit, which looks almost identical to the stolen item, in the hopes that someone will come across it and contact the detachment.

Anyone with information related to the whereabouts of the Topcon, its tripod, or the theft, is asked to please contact the Kamloops RCMP Detachment at 250-828-3000 and reference file 2024-18467.
