Kamloops RCMP say a man was arrested after a robbery at a Victoria Street business on Friday.

Spokesperson Const. Crystal Evelyn says police were called around 5:24 p.m. on Oct. 22 to a retail store on the 200-block of Victoria Street downtown following a report of a robbery involving what appeared to be a firearm.

“Police attended and received a suspect description, but were unable to immediately locate the person,” she said. “A man known to police was arrested the next day.”

NL News has learned that the suspect reportedly was an “older man” though those details were not released by police.

“The investigation is ongoing and charge recommendations are anticipated for assessment,” Evelyn added.
