A Kelowna man was arrested early Wednesday for allegedly stealing a bait car.
West Kelowna RCMP say they were notified just after 4:15 a.m., that a bait car deployed in the area had entered and moved from where it was parked.
The bait car’s location, speed and direction of travel were sent to officers, who then tactically flooded into outlying areas.
“Frontline officers intercepted the eastbound vehicle on Highway 97 south, near Westside Road where it had stopped,” said Const. Solana Paré.
