RCMP investigate theft from business

RCMP have released surveillance photos of a robbery suspect at a Kelowna business.

On April 19 just before 11:45 a.m., RCMP received a report of theft from a business in the 2400-block of Highway 97 N. An employee of the business reported that a man walked into the store and walked out with the cash register’s drawer.

Officers and police dog services attended the store immediately but were unable to locate the suspect. The employee was not injured in the incident.

Officers have determined that the suspect departed in a white full size pick up truck towing a black trailer that contained a recreational vehicle. The make and model of the vehicle and trailer are not currently known.

The male suspect is described as Caucasian, about 5’10 with a slim build with short light brown hair, last seen wearing a black jacket, light coloured blue jeans, black running shoes, a black baseball hat and an orange watch.

“The investigation conducted by our frontline officers has resulted in the gathering of evidence including video surveillance,” says Cst. Solana Par of the Kelowna RCMP. “Investigators are looking for witnesses who may have seen the suspect from the video surveillance fleeing the scene.”
