Penticton car theft suspects arrested in West Kelowna

Two people suspected of stealing several vehicles and property in the Penticton area earlier today have been arrested following reports made to the RCMP in multiple South Okanagan jurisdictions.

With concern for public safety, officers used covert tactics to follow the suspects until they were able to safely conduct a vehicle stop and arrest these two individuals without injury in the Glenrosa neighbourhood of West Kelowna.

“This was a dynamic and fluid event, but with the organized cooperation from multiple South Okanagan RCMP detachments, the suspects were taken into custody without injury to the public, police officers or the two individuals,“ said Cst. Mike Della-Paolera, the media relations officer with the Kelowna Regional RCMP.

The individuals are currently being held in custody to await their date in court.

One of the reported stolen vehicles was located in Penticton by officers.

Due to the complexity of this investigation, the RCMP will not provide further information at this time.

Anyone with dash camera recordings or surveillance video that may assist with the file is asked to contact the Penticton RCMP Detachment at (250) 492-4300 and reference file number 2023-4299.
