RCMP are investigating an early morning BnE that led to a cross country chase of a stolen ATV through the Vernon area on Friday.
On Friday, May 16, 2025, around 5:00 a.m., Vernon North Okanagan RCMP responded to a break and enter at a business in the 6300-block of Highway 97 Frontage Road in Vernon. Suspects cut through a fence and stole a side-by-side ATV and a trailer carrying a child-sized quad. The trailer was later recovered, and the side by side was spotted driving first on Noble Canyon Road and later on Creighton Valley Road near Cherryville. During an attempt to recover the ATV, another person in a side by side attempted to stop the stolen ATV and collided with it, causing both to roll. The owner of the stolen side by side arrived on scene and confronted the suspect. After a brief confrontation the suspect jumped in and stole the owner’s truck, which had been left running, and fled the scene.
The vehicle is a blue 2022 Ford F-350 with BC license plate of RV7851 and was last seen towing a flatdeck trailer.
Anyone with information, or who has seen the vehicle in the photo, is asked to contact their local police or Crimestoppers.
