Man arrested for ‘lewd acts’ in Kamloops restaurant drive-thrus: RCMP

Multiple reports of indecent acts in restaurant drive-thrus led to an early morning arrest in Kamloops.

Mounties were told of a man in a truck committing "lewd acts" on both Tuesday and Wednesday, which led a surveillance operation, according to a news release.

Today, Dec. 9, officers on Notre Dame Drive located and arrested the suspect, while surveilling the area, just before 5 a.m.

Although multiple reports were already given to police, investigators believe the suspect exposed themselves to more people.

“Based on the information gathered so far, investigators believe there may be other people who were exposed to the acts and have not yet reported to police,” Kamloops RCMP spokesperson Const. Crystal Evelyn said.

“If this sounds like something that may have happened to you recently, or to someone you know, please contact us as soon as possible.”

The investigation is ongoing, but charges will be later recommended to prosecutors, RCMP said. The suspect was released from custody with conditions and a court date.
