Two suspects are in custody after they led RCMP on a bit of a journey in a stolen car.
North Okanagan RCMP received report of the possibly occupied stolen vehicle around 11 a.m. on Monday.
Officers were told the vehicle was travelling at a high rate of speed southbound on Hwy 97 near Otter Lake Cross Road before turning to head east on Silver Star Road.
That’s where emergency crews converged to track down the vehicle, which they located at an address in the 6100 block of Silver Star Road.
Both occupants of the vehicle, a 32-year-old Vernon man and a 48-year-old Vernon woman, were taken into custody without incident.
“The top priority of the responding units is to ensure public safety,” said Cst. Kelly Brett.
“Therefore a swift and well executed containment of the area was made by front line officers and the two occupants of the vehicle were taken into custody without incident.”
The man was held in custody overnight and faces possible charges, while the woman was released with no charge.
