Police say they are searching for a burglar who left a smelly surprise inside a North Kamloops business before fleeing in a stolen vehicle.
Mounties were called to a commercial address on 11th Street at about 10:30 a.m. on Saturday for a report of a break-in.
RCMP Cpl. Crystal Evelyn said the suspect broke into the business, defecated in a bathtub and then took a nap.
According to police, an employee roused the burglar at about 10 a.m. on Saturday by knocking on the door of the business. The worker watched as the suspect fled in a blue Kia Sportage, B.C. plates MX7 75W, which had been reported stolen out of Abbotsford.
“The suspect is described as an Asian male in his 20s, 5-foot-8 with a slim build, dressed in a light brown jacket or hoodie, dark brown pants and black running shoes with white soles,” Evelyn said.
Anyone with information can call police at 250-828-3000.
