Two men have been arrested after the attempted theft of a construction machine this week and are in custody awaiting a court date.
Kelowna RCMP say the two were taken into custody following a report of two men trying to steal a Bobcat from a business compound along the 100 block of Pinto Road on Monday night.
Police allege the two were using a stolen truck in trying to steal the Bobcat at approximately 10:30 p.m.
Officers flooded the area, with one man arrested at the scene. The second suspect fled on foot, though he was located a short time later by police dog services.
