Police and some residents teamed up in the arrest of three suspects trying to flee the law in Vernon.
On Tuesday (April 28) around 11:20 a.m., an officer with North Okanagan Traffic Services (NOTS) was on patrol in the area of 42nd Avenue and 35A Street in Vernon when he saw a grey sedan with no licence plates drive past.
The vehicle was being driven in an erratic manner, was the subject of several earlier complaints from the public and it had failed to stop for another police vehicle in the area moments before.
“The officer attempted to stop the vehicle, however it fled and the officer did not pursue it for public safety reasons,” said Cpl. Mike Halskov of the BC Highway Patrol. “Police flooded the area and, with assistance from area residents and the police service dog, three men in their early 20’s, all from the local area, were taken into custody.”
