Kamloops RCMP looking to identify robbery suspect

Kamloops RCMP are seeking help from the public to identify a suspect involved in a robbery investigation.

On March, 28, around 2:30 p.m., Kamloops RCMP officers were sent to a business in the 400 block of Lansdowne Street where an employee attempted to stop an individual from robbing the business when the alleged robber supposedly showed a weapon in response, according to an RCMP release. Police don't identify the business.

RCMP said the employee wasn't physically injured.

The suspect got away and police are releasing the suspect's photo in the hope someone recognizes them.

Police describe the suspect as a male with a tanned complexion, a moustache and a beard. He was wearing a dark jacket and a ball cap with writing on it.

Anyone with relevant information is asked to contact Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000 and reference file 2024-9064.
