A couple in a stolen vehicle didn't get far once RCMP were on their heels Monday.
Vernon North Okanagan RCMP received a report that a stolen vehicle had been located in the area of Louis Estates Road off Westside Road June 9 around 9:30 a.m.
Officers located the truck but it immediately fled north on Westside Road when police approached it.
Other responding officers had positioned themselves in advance and successfully deployed a tire deflation device. The vehicle was disabled and the two occupants fled on foot.
"The pair didn’t get far and were tracked down by Police Service Dog Norse and arrested without incident," said Const. Chris Terleski, media relations officer.
The 36-year old Kelowna man and 34-year old woman from Surrey are currently in custody and expected to appear in court later today.
