KELOWNA – A Kelowna woman was shaken but not harmed after “a set of suspicious circumstances” on Hartman Road in Kelowna.

Kelowna RCMP spokesman Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey said in a press release a woman reported an attempt by two men to get into her Honda minivan around 7 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 8.

Police say the intentions of the men remains unclear.

Both were described as short, one wearing a black hoodie with white lettering on the backside and the other wearing a red hoodie.

The pair was last seen heading towards Rutland Senior Secondary School.

O’Donaghey says police are taking the incident seriously even though the woman was unharmed and ask anyone with information to call the Kelowna RCMP non-emergency line at 250-762-3300.

John began life as a journalist through the Other Press, the independent student newspaper for Douglas College in New Westminster. The fluid nature of student journalism meant he was soon running the place, learning on the fly how to publish a newspaper.

It wasn’t until he moved to Kelowna he broke into the mainstream media, working for Okanagan Sunday, then the Kelowna Daily Courier and Okanagan Saturday doing news graphics and page layout. He carried on with the Kelowna Capital News, covering health and education while also working on special projects, including the design and launch of a mass market daily newspaper. After 12 years there, John rejoined the Kelowna Daily Courier as editor of the Westside Weekly, directing news coverage as the Westside became West Kelowna.

But digital media beckoned and John joined Kelowna.com as assistant editor and reporter, riding the start-up as it at first soared then went down in flames. Now John is turning dirt as city hall reporter for iNFOnews.ca where he brings his long experience to bear on the civic issues of the day.
