KELOWNA – One person was arrested this morning after RCMP tracked a stolen vehicle as it traveled all the way from Vernon to Kelowna. The stolen car was spotted in Vernon Wednesday morning. Police tracked its progress to Glenmore Rd. where they put out a spike belt near the Glenmore Landfill.
The spike belt deflated the car’s tires but that didn’t stop the driver from continuing down Glenmore Rd. and into Kelowna where residents in the Clifton Rd. area noticed the commotion.

“I was trying to back out the driveway and this car came flying up the road, smoking and making a bunch of noise,” says resident Mike Walraven.
The driver ended up taking off on foot, jumping over a fence and running through yards.
