A Kelowna man was sent to the hospital yesterday morning after getting into an argument with two people in a stolen car.
A worker arrived at a construction site on Foxtail Terrace, and saw a man and woman in a vehicle near that location at roughly 7:57 a.m., Dec. 15, according to the RCMP in a press release.
The worker approached the vehicle and the three got into an argument. One of the occupants of the vehicle produced an alleged imitation firearm and injured the victim before ramming his vehicle and fleeing the area.
The victim, a 42-year-old Kelowna man, was treated at Kelowna General Hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.
The suspect's vehicle, a silver Dodge Charger, was reported as stolen from the Kelowna area, according to the RCMP. The man and woman were wearing COVID-style masks.
“We are working diligently to identify the suspects in this incident,” says Cpl. Jocelyn Noseworthy, of the Kelowna RCMP, in the press release. “Our officers are canvassing for witnesses and security footage at this time, and we encourage anyone with information to come forward and speak with us immediately.”
Anyone with information on this assault is asked to contact the Kelowna RCMP at 250-761-3300.
