Osoyoos break and enter results in re-arrest of multiple offender
PENTICTON – Osoyoos RCMP arrested a repeat offender following a break, enter and theft in the community last week.
Oliver resident Brooks Vandenbroek was arrested following a break-in and theft at Joe’s Plumbing and Heating in Osoyoos on June 18. He was also charged with several other counts of fraud and mail theft, eventually pleading guilty to 18 charges connected to crimes in and around Oliver, Osoyoos and Penticton, according to a release from Osoyoos RCMP.
Vendenbroek was released on a conditional sentence with numerous conditions. Under most circumstances, a breach of conditional sentence order would put the offender behind bars for the remainder of their sentence.
Osoyoos RCMP also dealt with a single vehicle collision involving a deer and a 2013 Honda Accord. A 26 year old female driver from Edmonton, Alberta was driving on Highway 3 approximately three kilometres east of Osoyoos when a deer jumped onto the highway.
The deer was killed in the collision and considerable damage was done to the vehicle. The driver was not injured.

Please put this person behind bars.I am so tired of repeat offenders gettring a break. Everytime you do that you are putting the public at risk.One stike, I can see a light sentence- give them a chance to change; Second time a stiffer sentence becuase they didn’t learn; and the third time throw the book at them because they don’t care and don’t WANT to change.Every time you release them it puts the public at risk, and I resent the fact that the judicial system thnks that is ok.That one person, the judge, can determine what is in the best interst of the populace when you aren’t the person being affected.How dare you!Please, some Judge, make a stand and say enough!
