A potentially armed man is on the run in the South Okanagan.
On Thursday, around 5 am, police were called to a break in and theft at a business in the 4300 block of Weyerhauser Road, Okanagan Falls.
Shortly after, an employee of the business observed a black truck with their stolen property parked at a cabin on the 201 Forest Service Road.
The employee approached the truck, but a man and woman came out from behind the cabin and pointed a firearm at the employee.
The man then fled in the truck, leaving the woman behind.
Officers later located the woman, a 29 year-old of Okanagan Falls resident, and took her into custody.
The black truck was also located unoccupied at a residence well known to police on Cedar Court.
It’s now known that the truck was previously stolen from Armstrong, BC.
The man has yet to be located and is described as a Caucasian man in his 40s who was wearing a black hat and brown jacket.
Penticton RCMP are seeking the public’s assistance for any information into this incident.
