Kamloops serious crimes section is investigating the disappearance of two roommates.

Thirty-one-year-old Damien Marks was reported missing after not showing up to work April 20. His family hadn't heard from him since the 17th.

Five days later, police received a report his roommate, Kenneth Yaretz, 24, was also missing and hadn't been seen since the day before Marks' disappearance.

Police aren't confirming a gang connection in the case, but they won't deny Yaretz has been seen with men they identify as alleged gang members.

Marks is five-foot-eight with brown hair and blue eyes. Yaretz is five-foot-ten with an athletic build and short brown hair.

The pair's disappearance is being treated as suspicious by investigators, and police are asking anyone with information to call Kamloops city RCMP.
