A determined member of the Kelowna RCMPsa国际传媒檚 Police Dog Service (PDS) took down an individual with multiple outstanding warrants.

On Nov. 15, around 12:30 a.m. the RCMP were notified after a break-and-enter at a Glenmore property mostly destroyed from the Grouse Complex of wildfires. The property, located in the 1700 block of Glenmore Road North, still had working surveillance cameras in the area, where an unknown vehicle could be seen. It was suspected the suspect broke into outdoor storage units on the property.

When RCMP arrived at the scene, they observed the suspect with a flashlight fleeing the scene on foot into the woods, which prompted the call to the PDS to track down the suspect. While starting the search to find the suspect, other officers investigated the scene and the unknown vehicle. A replica firearm, additional weapons, and drugs were found in the vehicle.

However, the suspect wasnsa国际传媒檛 found in the RCMPsa国际传媒檚 initial search.

Despite the initial search coming to an end, Const. Kent Wagner and police dog Mysan decided to continue the search. After three hours of searching through mud, trees and soot, they were able to track down the suspect more than a kilometre away.

The suspect was arrested and taken into custody, where they later found out that the suspect had outstanding warrants in Mission, Abbotsford and Ridge Meadows for property-related and other offences. Because of his warrants and as the recent investigation continues, the suspect remains in custody.
