One man was arrested and has been charged after RCMP officers responded to a break and enter at a Coldstream residence early Thursday morning.

On Thursday, May 26th, 2022, shortly after 2 am, police were called to the 7500-block of McClounie Road after a resident woke up and found a man inside his home. Once confronted, the suspect ran from the residence and the home owner immediately called police. Frontline officers from the Vernon North Okanagan RCMP flooded the area and established a perimeter in order to contain the suspect. Police Service Dog Jagger and his handler responded to the scene and successfully tracked the suspect to where he was hiding several blocks away.  The suspect was taken into custody and following his arrest, police located a number of stolen items in the man’s possession. A further search of the nearby area led to the recovery of additional property also believed to stolen.

We’re currently investigating several reports of thefts and other property crime in the Coldstream area, states Constable Chris Terleski, Media Relations Officer for the Vernon North Okanagan RCMP. If you’ve had property stolen and have not yet reported it, call us. If you live in Coldstream, between McClounie Road and Ponderosa Way, please keep an eye out for any discarded or stashed items, specifically, backpacks, tools, identification, cell phones, and sporting goods. If you come across anything like this, please report it to police.

A 32-year old Prince George man has been charged with a number of criminal offences.  He has been remanded into custody until his next court appearance on June 2nd.
