Victor Olivas, 27, and Francisco Razo, 25
Two North Shore men who stole a vehicle at gunpoint before leading authorities on a high-speed chase pleaded guilty to several felony charges today and were immediately sentenced to more than eight years in state prison.
Victor Olivas, 27, and Francisco Razo, 25, were arrested last August following the carjacking reported in the area of Avenue 78 and Fillmore Street. Both men pleaded guilty to one count each of carjacking and evading arrest in exchange for prosecutors agreeing to dismiss one felony count each of taking a vehicle without an owner s consent and receiving stolen property, along with several sentence-enhancing allegations.
Two North Shore schools are in a hold and secure situation on Tuesday afternoon while police investigate a threat report received by Brock middle school. Kamloops RCMP was contacted by representatives of the Kamloops-Thompson school district after a person called the school and made a threat. Following consultations with Mounties, the school district issued a hold and secure order for Brock middle school and nearby Kay Bingham elementary out of an abundance of caution, according to Const. Crystal Evelyn. There is a police presence near the schools as of 1 p.m. and the public is asked to avoid the general area while the investigation continues.
