UPDATE: 1:50p.m.

Kelowna RCMP Cst. Mike Della-Paolera has confirmed that the truck was one of two vehicles stolen from the Penticton area.

The other was located shortly after it was stolen, while officers used covert tactics to follow the truck safely into the Glenrosa neighbourhood.

The suspect was taken into custody uninjured.

“This was a dynamic and fluid event but with the organized cooperation from multiple South Okanagan RCMP detachments the suspects were taken into custody without injury to the public, police officers or the two individuals,“ said Della-Paolera.

The suspects are being held in custody awaiting their court date, and police say there will be no further comments at this time.
