Kamloops police are looking for a suspect in the theft of several BB rifles from the warehouse of a store earlier this week.

On Nov. 24, 2025, at about 7:30 a.m., an RCMP officer was called to a retail location in the 2100-block of the Trans-Canada Highway for a report of a theft involving five Umarex USA Inc StrikeForce Full Auto BB Rifles.

“According to the report, a man allegedly walked directly into the warehouse where the BB rifles were stored, took five of the very realistic looking BB rifles and exited out the nearest door in the warehouse,” said RCMP Cpl. Dana Napier.

“Police have been unable to identify the man and are releasing photos captured of him to the public in order to help advance the investigation.”

Investigators would also like to get help identifying a person of interest who may also be able to help with furthering the investigation.  An image of a woman is being released in the hopes that she can be identified in order for police to speak with her.

If you have information related to the stolen BB rifles, the suspect or person of interest, call the Kamloops RCMP Detachment at 250-828-3000 and cite file 2025-39177.
