Two people who were arrested in a stolen vehicle earlier this week are now facing charges, say police.
According to Kelowna RCMP, officers located a stolen truck on Monday morning, and, with assistance from RCMP Air Services, the vehicle was followed.
Police Dog Services were also involved in the arrest near the intersection of KLO and Benvoulin roads just before 2:30 p.m.
“Officers attempted to conduct the arrest of the occupants of the vehicle which fled, colliding with an attending police vehicle,” Kelowna RCMP said on Wednesday.
