The Kamloops RCMP Detachment is looking for information after a resident was woken this weekend by an intruder.

On Saturday Feb. 3, 2024, around 4:15 a.m., Kamloops RCMP Detachment frontline officers were called to the 1400-block of Cannel Drive for a report of two men who had broken into a home. According to the report, the suspects left when confronted by one of the residents. No one was injured and nothing appeared to be taken during the incident. The Police Dog Service Unit attended, but no one was located.

As part of the investigation, police reviewed nearby security footage which showed two people running from the area at two separate times that morning: just after 2:15 a.m., and again a couple of hours later, just before police were contacted around 4:12 a.m., at which point the suspects had a little more distance between them.
