B&E suspect named

West Kelowna RCMP have named a man they believe responsible for a brazen daytime break and enter at a residence in the Glenrosa neighbourhood which was interrupted by a local person.

On Dec. 4, shortly before 2:50 p.m., officers responded to a report of an interrupted residential break and enter at a home on the 3400 block of Turnbull Road in West Kelowna.

Police learned that the break and enter suspect produced a weapon when confronted by a local area resident. The suspect, who did not physically injure the man, fled the area on foot.

“Police have now positively identified their suspect as 32-year-old Dale Christopher MacPherson of Peachland,” said Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey, Kelowna Regional RCMP spokesperson.

Several warrants have been issued for MacPherson on possible charges of robbery, break and enter, assault with a weapon, pointing a firearm and use of a firearm to commit an indictable offence.

“Dale MacPherson is believed to be operating a white 2006 Mazda 3 hatchback with a dark grey coloured hood,” said O’Donaghey. “If spotted, the public is cautioned not to approach him and urged to contact their local police immediately, as MacPherson has a history of violence and should be considered as potentially armed and dangerous.”

Anyone with any information on the current whereabouts of MacPherson is asked to contact their local police or the West Kelowna RCMP at 250-768-2880. To remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477, leave a tip online at www.crimestoppers.net or by text your tip to CRIMES (274637) ktown.
