RCMP Air Services was in the area at the time, and the pilot was able to track the truck as it drove southbound on Westside Road toward West Kelowna and provided regular updates to police officers on the ground.

“Frontline officers from West Kelowna, which included Kelowna detachment’s Police Dog Services unit, were advised of the truck’s direction of travel and successfully deployed a spike belt on Westside Road, with the vehicle being stopped at Nancee Way. With the vehicle disabled, the lone occupant was taken into custody without further incident. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries as a result of this incident,” Finn said.

The suspect is facing numerous criminal charges including possession of stolen property over $5,000, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, flight from police and breach of probation.
