During one of the first incidents Nov. 4, the suspect reportedly used counterfeit currency at a gas station in Kamloops. RCMP determined around that time that a burgundy Dodge Ram pickup truck involved in the incident had been stolen from Armstrong.
Shortly after on Nov. 6 at around 8 p.m., RCMP believe the same suspect suspect vehicle sideswiped the side of police vehicle at a gas station in Merritt while fleeing a crime scene. The suspect was attempting to pass counterfeit U.S. and Canadian currency at the gas station when he took off with a number of passengers in his truck.
Finally, shortly later on that day on Nov. 6, the same suspect vehicle was involved in a hit and run collision in West Kelowna. Despite RCMP deploying a spike belt on the William R. Bennett Bridge to try and disable the vehicle, however the driver evaded the device by driving over the concrete meridian and escaping.
