“The male driver of the truck fled from the scene in an extremely dangerous manner nearly striking the officer,” Cst. Jocelyn Noseworthy said in a news release.
Mounties received numerous complaints from the public about the man driving dangerously, and using those tips RCMP were able to track his movement from Vernon to West Kelowna’s Westside Road.
RCMP found the suspect vehicle on a side street off of Westside road.
Two suspects, a 36-year-old man and 31-year-old woman, were arrested not far from the truck.
The man is facing numerous charges including dangerous driving, flight from police and driving while prohibited.
Both are being held in custody until they appear in Vernon court.
Missing Dog Found
When the truck was stolen in Alberta, a German Shepherd, Bubba, was inside. Bubba wasn’t inside the truck when RCMP tracked it down.
His owner contacted Global News in hopes of getting the word out to find the 100 pound dog.
The owner has now let us know Bubba has been found.
