Kamloops men facing criminal charges in Vernon

Feb 13, 2018 | 12:19 PM

KAMLOOPS —Some alert residents led police to a couple of alleged would-be thieves in the Vernon area.

RCMP were called to L&A Road and Cools Road in the BX Wednesday last week,  where two males were allegedly ‘casing’ out the area in a white Pontiac Grand Prix.

Officers followed footprints in the snow to track the males to a nearby bush where they were attempting to hide from police.

The two male suspects were taken into custody without incident.

“It was the quick thinking of the local residents that lead police to the area, where the suspect males were ultimately hiding in bushes attempting to evade police,” says Cst. Kelly Brett. “The white Pontiac vehicle was in fact reported stolen out of the Kamloops area and there is no doubt the suspect males were looking to continue their crime spree.”
