A Peachland man is accused of sexually assaulting two women while they were sleeping.
RCMP arrested the man suspected of breaking into a home on Highland Drive in Kelowna around 8:45 p.m. Tuesday.
The women told police they believe the man came in through an unlocked door and touched them as they were sleeping in the same room.
The man left when the women woke up and confronted him, passing one of the women’s boyfriends as he returned home with a friend.
When the men found out what had happened, they chased after the stranger, who was last seen running east along Highland Drive North.
RCMP used a Police Service Dog and witness descriptions to locate a suspect.
The 39-year-old Peachland man faces potential charges of break and enter and sexual assault.
