Kamloops RCMP are looking for a trio of suspects after someone sprayed bear spray into the front foyer of a building downtown.
Const. Crystal Evelyn says police found an orange residue on the wall and floor of the building’s foyer after they responded around 8 p.m. last Saturday, Feb. 6.
She says the foyer had to be cleared out as it was difficult for some people to breathe.
“Police reviewed surveillance and observed three men approach the entrance around 7:36 p.m. One of the men released a spray before all three fled,” she said.
Two of the men were wearing dark clothes and appeared to have their hoods up. One carried two bags: one dark and one orange. Evelyn also says a suspect who fled on a red bike appeared to be white with a yellow or bright green camo jacket.
“Kamloops RCMP are releasing photos from the incident in an attempt to help further the investigation,” she noted.
