The Tk’emlúps Rural RCMP Detachment is looking for witnesses and information related to a robbery involving two people and a motorcycle last night.

On Aug. 10, 2022 around 10:20 p.m., frontline officers responded to the 7000-block of the Trans Canada Highway in Savona, where a man entered a gas station store, produced a firearm, and stole lottery tickets and cigarettes.

The man fled from the store and jumped on the back of a black street motorcycle, driven by his accomplice who was waiting nearby, said Corporal Crystal Evelyn, Tk’emlúps Rural RCMP spokesperson.

The suspect was wearing a black and orange motorcycle helmet with a face guard and the numbers 509 on the side.

While patrolling the area, a frontline officer located a motorcycle with no license plate and two passengers, travelling toward Deer Road. Police attempted to stop the vehicle, but one of its riders dropped a bag containing the stolen merchandise and fled.

Officers retrieved the bag and returned the items to the store.

Anyone who witnessed, has dash cam footage, or information related to the investigation is asked to please contact the Tk’emlúps Rural RCMP at 250-314-1800 and reference file 2022-27763.
