VERNON – Police in the Southern Interior are asking for the public's help in finding a wanted man who may be in the North Okanagan or Kamloops area.

Shane Mark Mulholland is wanted for failure to comply with a probation order, according to a news release by Vernon RCMP spokesperson Const. Kelly Brett.

Brett says police have made several attempts to locate Mulholland but have been unsuccessful.
