Kelowna police are on the lookout for two “dangerous” men who recently skipped a court date for a highly publicized assault.
Kyle Radis and Justin Radis failed to appear in court on Thursday, Dec. 15, on charges of aggravated assault and robbery of a 17-year-old on the Okanagan Rail Trail in November 2021, RCMP said in a press release.
Both were scheduled to make their first appearance in Kelowna court and neither showed up.
There is a warrant for their arrest, and they are considered dangerous.
In the aftermath of the attack on the teen, Mounties characterized the crime as intolerable.

“Senseless violence that shifts the public’s feelings of safety is intolerable and will be addressed with the full response of our teams. I am extremely proud of our RCMP Officers who dedicated themselves tirelessly to this file which resulted in these arrests.”
