Thief Enters Home of Sleeping Family, Steals Car and Other Items

Police are looking for a thief who broke into a Vernon home and stole a family’s car and other items while they were sleeping.

A home owner on Marshall Road in Okanagan Landing was woken up by the sound of his garage door opening and his car being stolen at 3 am this morning.

“The homeowner’s advised officers that someone had entered their home while they were sleeping and stole a basket that contained an Ipad, two Iphones, and a purse and wallet containing credit cards, identification, and vehicle keys. The suspect then accessed the garage and stole a Grey Dodge Journey,” says Cst. Kelly Brett.

Mounties spotted the van leaving a convenience store soon after.
