A man who police say is known to them was arrested, along with two other suspects, after a stolen truck was stopped earlier this week.

According to Penticton RCMP, on Monday at 6 a.m., officers responded to a report of an overnight break-and-enter in an industrial area.

Police say the culprits rummaged through several parked vehicles in an adjacent lot as well, before stealing a 2010 Chevy Silverado.

At 10 a.m. that morning, a K-9 Unit spotted the stolen truck near Green Avenue and Skaha Lake Road and it was later stopped by officers.

Police say the driver, a 30-year-old man from Penticton, plus another man, 29, and a woman, 23, were taken into custody.
