Kamloops man wanted for aggravated assault

Kamloops RCMP have a suspect in connection with a serious assault in the city last week.

Officers were called to the 400 block of Tranquille Road on Wednesday, May 8, where a man has been found with serious injuries, according to an RCMP media release. He was transported to hospital.

Investigators identified the suspect and recommended a charge of aggravated assault to the BC Protection Service which was approved.

A warrant was issued for Mattheau Michael Myron Aldridge, 21, of Kamloops today, May 15.

Police are hoping someone recognizes him and knows where he is.

RCMP describe Aldridge as a Caucasian male, 5’8” tall, 150 lb. with brown hair and green eyes.

Police warn that if you see him, don’t approach him and instead call 911.
