KELOWNA, B.C. — Police are searching for suspects after two fire hydrants in Kelowna were illegally opened Monday night.
Water gushed from the hydrants and soaked the streets of a housing development, still under construction, in the Kettle Valley area.
RCMP say one or more suspects unscrewed the cap on a fire hydrant on Steele Road at Gordon Drive just before 10 p.m., then tampered with another on Jasper Way and Mountainside Drive.
Water flowed down Jasper Way and through a vacant lot and left mud and debris on Mountainside Court, the street directly below.
City officials say a bobcat and gravel truck will be on site tomorrow to clean up the debris left behind.
There was also minor damage to a home’s rock retaining wall and debris also flowed into a backyard pool.
RCMP would like to hear from anything with information.
