Kamloops RCMP say the driver of a white pickup truck linked to at least three police files has been arrested.

Cpl. Crystal Evelyn says a police officer was patrolling the Yew Street area yesterday, Sept. 15, when he spotted a vehicle that matched the description of one that had recently been stolen from the 700-block of Columbia Street West in Sahali.

Evelyn says that truck had a license plate that was also reported as lost or stolen, noting the vehicle was also linked to suspicious vehicle complaint in Juniper Ridge on Tuesday, Sept. 13.

“The truck was unoccupied at the time of its discovery, but thanks to a good description of its occupants provided from a person in the area, officers were able to find and arrest two people nearby,” she said.

“One of those people matched the description of the person photographed during the Juniper Ridge report.”

Evelyn says the woman who was arrested was later released without charges, though the man was given conditions and a court date.

“The photos and descriptions provided by the public were instrumental in helping police retrieve the stolen truck and license plate, as well as apprehend a suspect,” Evelyn added.

Evelyn says police have released a picture of the pickup truck, and are asking people who may have seen it in to reach out to police and reference file 2022-32902.
