Spike strip used to stop fleeing vehicle

Vernon North Okanagan RCMP had to disable a vehicle in order to make an arrest Saturday evening.

At around 6 p.m. July 11, police received a report of a suspicious vehicle parked outside a residence on 25th Avenue.

Police responded and located the vehicle travelling on 24th Avenue, but when officers tried to initiate a traffic stop the suspect fled at a high speed.

Officers did not pursue out of concern for public safety, but later that evening the same vehicle was spotted in the Predator Ridge neighbourhood.
