It began around 12:10 p.m., when an officer was patrolling near Paul Lake and Cold Creek roads and saw a black truck that had been reported as stolen.
When the officer approached the truck in his vehicle, the truck rammed it and then fled up Paul Lake Road, according to police.

Multiple officers responded and searched the area, soon finding the truck abandoned near Paul Lake and Harper Mountain roads. A police dog was also called in, but officers were unable to locate any suspects.
“We are releasing an image of the stolen vehicle and its license plate information in hopes that someone will recall seeing it and lead police to information or video surveillance which may help identify the suspects,” said Cpl. Crystal Evelyn, spokesperson for Kamloops RCMP, in the release.
“Our hope is for residents to go home and review their dash cam or security footage from the day and see if there is anything present that could help further the investigation.”
