A City of Kelowna bylaw officer tried to chase down their vehicle on foot after it was carjacked, according to RCMP.
In a press release, Kelowna Mounties said the Tuesday afternoon chase wasn’t going well until an off-duty officer saw it.
“(The officer) then sprang into action picking up the bylaw officer in his own personal vehicle then followed the stolen car until it stopped in a lane behind the public library,” RCMP said.
The suspect then exited the vehicle and attempted to flee on foot but was chased and caught by the off-duty officer and arrested.
The suspect, a Kelowna male, was arrested for impaired operation of a motor vehicle and theft of the vehicle.
“Our RCMP officers not only work in Kelowna but live and enjoy our community,” Const. Mike Della-Paolera said. “Our team members are always willing to jump into action to protect our City whether on-duty or not.”
The male was released from custody and scheduled to appear in court.
