2 arrested in dangerous Westside road driving spree

A dangerous driving spree that spanned from Vernon to West Kelowna Tuesday has led to multiple arrests.

The spree began in Vernon just before 11:30 a.m. when a Vernon police officer approached the driver of a potentially stolen vehicle from Alberta at a mall complex on 32 Street in Vernon.

Mounties received numerous complaints from the public about the man driving dangerously, and using those tips RCMP were able to track his movement from Vernon to West Kelowna’s Westside Road.

Two suspects, a 36-year-old man and 31-year-old woman, were arrested not far from the truck.

The man is facing numerous charges including dangerous driving, flight from police and driving while prohibited.

Both are being held in custody until they appear in Vernon court.
