KELOWNA – Kelowna RCMP are searching for two stolen vehicles, one of which was allegedly used to commit further crimes in the area.

RCMP say officers responded to a commercial break and enter on Aug. 14 from an automotive dealership located in the 2400 block of Enterprise Way in Kelowna, just before 9 a.m.

Police discovered entry had been gained to the building and keys taken that customers had dropped off after leaving their vehicles for servicing, according to an RCMP media release.

An inventory check revealed a white 2015 Dodge Challenger with B.C. license AK6 93L and a grey 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee with B.C. plate EN9 86C were missing from the lot along with additional plates.

A shoplifiting incident in West Kelowna and an attempted break and enter to another business on Enterprise Way have been associated with the white Challenger.

“RCMP continue to search for both vehicles,” Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey says in the release. “If you spot either of the vehicles occupied or abandoned, do not approach them and call police immediately."

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Kelowna RCMP at 250-762-3300 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

I have been looking for news in the South Okanagan - SImilkameen for 20 years, having turned a part time lifelong interest into a full time profession. After five years publishing a local newsletter, several years working as a correspondent / stringer for several local newspapers and seven years as editor of a Similkameen weekly newspaper, I joined iNFOnews.ca in 2014. My goal in the news industry has always been to deliver accurate and interesting articles about local people and places. My interest in the profession is life long - from my earliest memories of grade school, I have enjoyed writing.
As an airborne geophysical surveyor I travelled extensively around the globe, conducting helicopter borne mineral surveys.
I also spent several years at an Okanagan Falls based lumber mill, producing glued-wood laminated products.
As a member of the Kaleden community, I have been involved in the Kaleden Volunteer Fire Department for 22 years, and also serve as a trustee on the Kaleden Irrigation District board.
I am currently married to my wife Judy, of 26 years. We are empty-nesters who enjoy living in Kaleden with our Welsh Terrier, Angus, and cat, Tibbs.
Our two daughters, Meagan and Hayley, reside in Richmond and Victoria, respectively.
