Frontline cops arrest downtown suspect

Jan 16, 2026 | 3:27 PM

A timely boost for RCMP in Kelowna and, perhaps, the frustrated business community concerned with crime in the downtown.

Police arrested a male, suspected of property crime at a business on the 500-block of Bernard Avenue in the early hours of Friday morning.

The cops got there within 3 minutes of the 911 call.

Kelowna RCMP said it continues its targeted effort to combat property crime within the downtown core and timely reporting of the incident by the public was key.
