Kamloops suspects use stolen vehicle to conduct multiple break and enters

Kamloops RCMP have launched an investigation into two suspects that allegedly used a stolen vehicle to conduct a string of break and enters.

Around 6 am on Oct. 21, officers responded to a report of a commercial break and enter to a business located in the 200-block of Lansdowne Street.

“It appears that two suspects, associated with a white minibus, smashed the glass front door to gain access,” said police in a release.

“Once inside the suspects, who wore hoodies and baseball caps, stole several collectible items with a combined estimated value of over $20,000.”

Later that morning just after 9 am, police received a report of another commercial break and enter to a business situated in the 100-block of Victoria Street West.

Police believe the same suspects gained entry into the business, this time by prying the front door. Once inside, the suspects stole several items including remote-controlled cars and a cash register amounting to more than $25,000 in stolen items.

However, it didn’t stop there.

At approximately 9:53 am, the owner of a third business located in the 900-block of McGill Road in Kamloops called to report that their 2006 Ford Mini Bus had been stolen from the parking lot.

This minibus, which had BC license plates NT 4992 attached, has not yet been located.

“Our investigators believe that the suspects stole the minibus overnight from the McGill Road area in order to carry out their crime spree,” states Sgt. Darren Michels, Media Relations Officer with the Kamloops RCMP.

“We are interested in hearing from any additional businesses that may have been targeted by these thieves and have not yet initiated a police report”

Anyone with any information on the location of this stolen commercial vehicle or the identity of either suspect is asked to call the Kamloops RCMP at (250) 828-3000
