After several reports over the last week of a suspicious man lurking around the trails of Knox Mountain, police were once again contacted Friday morning about dubious activity in the same area.
The call came into RCMP just after 8 a.m. and officers along with members of the Community Safety Unit immediately responded and contained the area using police cruisers and an ATV.
A man was located at the base of the mountain and put into custody without incident.
It is believed this suspect is associated with several calls for police to attend Knox Mountain and the trail to Paul’s Tomb.
The man is currently held in Kelowna cells on the strength of the outstanding warrant and officers will be questioning him regarding his intentions on the Knox Mountain trails, explained Cpl. Michael Gauthier.
“This is another great example of how our teams worked quickly to detain an individual,” said Cpl. Gauthier. “We thank the public for their assistance in reporting the activity immediately allowing our teams to respond in a timely manner.”
