A team effort between Osoyoos and Midway RCMP led to two arrests on Monday.

The suspects, 30 and 35 years old, were arrested after driving a stolen truck and trailer around a police blockade near Whitetail Road, about 15 kilometres east of Osoyoos.

While attempting to flee the officers, the men drove over spike belts which deflated all of the truck’s and trailer’s tires.

RCMP deployed a helicopter to track down the two men after they drove around the police road block.
