A stolen property and flight from police investigation led to two suspects finding themselves in custody in Kamloops Tuesday night.
On April 1, 2025, at approximately 11:30 p.m., the Kamloops RCMP Detachment was notified that a black four-door sedan reported as stolen, was entering the area. The vehicle was suspected to have been involved in offences in Alberta and BC, and had allegedly fled from other nearby detachment officers.
The quick planning and response of Kamloops RCMP frontline officers led to a successful spike belt deployment on Hwy 1, but the vehicle continued on and was abandoned east of the city, said Corporal Crystal Evelyn, Kamloops RCMP Detachment. Soon after, police located a suspect lying in a ditch nearby and arrested him. The North Okanagan RCMP Dog Service Unit found a second person hiding in the grass further along, and he too was taken into custody.

The investigation involves multiple jurisdictions and offences, and we anticipate making charge recommendations as part of the assessment and approval process.
