Warrant issued for armed robbery suspect who failed to show for court

Kamloops RCMP are looking for a man suspected of robbing a store in Aberdeen Mall after he failed to show for court on July 29.

Kyle Deline, 30, was arrested on July 13 after he was reported to be running from a security guard around Highway 5A and Rogers Way.

He was subsequently arrested on Dalhousie Drive and later found to be associated with an armed robbery at Aberdeen Mall in April and another warrant out of New Westminster.

He was held for court, then given a release order to return for another court date on July 29. When he failed to show up, another arrest warrant was issued on July 30.

Police searched the area around Aberdeen Mall after the April 19 robbery and arrested one suspect at Star Lodge on Columbia Street West, but it was not Deline.

Kamloops RCMP are seeking public assistance in locating Deline, who is described as a 5'5" Caucasian male, weighing 161 lbs. He has green eyes, brown hair and various tattoos, including one beside his left eye.

Anyone who sees Deline can contact Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000 and reference file 2021-12331.
