Kamloops Mounties are dealing with a reported carjacking downtown.

RCMP were called out Monday night at around 10:30 to the area of Nicola and 11th for a report of that a man had been robbed of his vehicle by a man who produced a firearm.

“The victim was parked in the 1100-block of Nicola Street in his dark blue, 2008 BMW 535Xi, bearing BC licence plate NM099B, when a man approached the driver’s window, produced a firearm and demanded the victim get out of the car,” said Staff Sergeant Janelle Shoihet with Kamloops RCMP.

The suspect, who was described as Caucasian man in his 40’s, standing approximately 5’7″ tall and wearing a baseball cap, was last seen driving east on Nicola Street in the victim’s car.

“Thankfully the victim was not physically harmed however was understandably shaken by the ordeal,” said Shoihet.

“We are asking residents in the area of Nicola Street and 11th Ave to review video surveillance between 10:30 and 11 p.m. for the BMW,” said Shoihet. “While it is dark blue, it will likely appear black at night.”
