Tk’emlups Rural RCMP are hoping to identify suspects connected to a series of break-ins early Tuesday morning.
Police believe a trio of break-in’s – Kamloops, Savona and Skeetchetsn -are believed to be related, as suspects in all three incidents were wearing high visibility vests or jackets.
“We are releasing images captured at two of the locations in hopes that someone recognizes, or had recent dealings with anyone they think could be one of the suspects,” said Corporal Crystal Evelyn, Kamloops RCMP spokesperson.
“Maybe you work at a business, even one out of town, and have surveillance video that captured people who could be these suspects – you never know what could help further the investigation.”
Mounties say the first incident occurred around 2:30 am on Tuesday, where items were stolen from a commercial location on the 7100-block of the Trans Canada Highway in Savona after its storage unit broken into.
Surveillance video captured an image of a man in a high visibility vest breaking into a storage unit.
Just over an hour after that, around 3:30 a.m. authorities say a pair of men in high visibility jackets or vets with their hoods up, wearing face masks hit up a commercial location on the 6900-block of the Trans Canada Highway.
Police say a Hurley logo could be seen on the pant leg of one of the suspects.
They are believed to have fled in a white or light quad cab pickup with stolen items, including cigarettes.
Several hours later, RCMP officers were called to assist CN Police with a break-in that occurred in one of its buildings overnight.
What was taken from that location is still under investigation.
Anyone with information related to these incidents are asked to contact the Tk’emlúps RCMP Rural Detachment.
