The suspects remain unknown but are said to be male and driving a minivan, which RCMP believe to be a Chevrolet make.

91ƵTheir tactics were anything but subtle,91Ƶ states Cpl. Jesse O91ƵDonaghey, Media Relations Officer for the Kelowna RCMP. 91ƵAfter loading an arc welder, a car jack and other tools into the van, the suspects haphazardly tied a generator to the rear of the vehicle and drove away from the scene.91Ƶ

Cpl. O91ƵDonaghey adds, 91Ƶthe generator not only created a serious traffic hazard on the roadway, but the sparks it created from being dragged along the asphalt posed a significant risk of triggering a wildfire.91Ƶ
