Multiple alarms ringing at a jewelry store on Main Street in West Kelowna led to the arrest of one man.

RCMP responded to the store just before 9 p.m. on Nov. 13. Officers searched the area and discovered a man allegedly fleeing from the store with an undisclosed amount of merchandise.

“This stolen property was likely going to be sold on the black market,” said Cpl. Tammy Lobb.
