On the morning of Dec. 24 a man reported to Kelowna RCMP that the front passenger window of his 2016 Jeep Wrangler had been smashed while parked overnight in the secured underground parkade of a condo building on the 700 block of Stockwell Avenue, said Crime Stoppers.

The window of a 2009 smart car was also smashed. Video surveillance was reviewed which captured a Caucasian male in his late teens/early 20’s, approximately 5-foot-9 wearing a brown winter jacket with hood, a black and fluorescent green baseball cap, skate shoes with red or pink laces and a forest green and black backpack entering the parkade.

The video is posted online.

Suspects stole registration papers, a portable debit machine and a set of keys. Video surveillance shows a female using a fob to gain access to the main building at 4 a.m., entering the garage and opening the door to allow a male driving an older grey Mercedes into the garage.

The suspects are described as a Caucasian female with brown or dark blonde hair wearing army green pants, a teal sweater and a black jacket. The Caucasian male has brown hair, a moustache/goatee and was wearing black Carhartt pants, a black hoodie, work boots and a grey and black ball cap with a black insignia.

Sometime between 7 p.m. on Jan. 14 and 8 a.m. the next morning a truck was stolen from the 2700 block of Auburn Road in West Kelowna. A credit card from the wallet left in the vehicle was able to be used before the card was cancelled, said Crime Stoppers.
