Kelowna RCMP disrupt break and enter, 2 Metro Vancouver men arrested

Two Metro Vancouver men were arrested in the Okanagan last week, and Kelowna RCMP say they are now investigating what could be a van full of stolen property.

The arrests happened on Thursday, June 20, just before 8 a.m., when police say they received a report of a possible break and enter along the 300 block of Highway 33 East.

The residence was boarded up and cordoned off following a house fire.

When officers arrived, police say they located and arrested two men who were associated to a black, spray-painted Chevrolet Astro van.
