UPDATE: 2:35 p.m.

Police acting on a tip turned out in force to arrest two men, Friday, in Peachland.

Information provided to police was that the men were inside a Trepanier Bench Road home without authorization, ie – they had broken in.

“Our officers were familiar with these individuals, and out of an abundance of caution, in order to ensure both police and public safety, they called upon the RCMP Southeast District Emergency Response Team and both the Kelowna RCMP Air Services and Police Dog Services Sections for added support," said Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey.

A large amount of suspected stolen property was seized at the scene.

The men, 45 and 48, of West Kelowna, face potential charges, as RCMP continue their investigation.

UPDATE: 12:45 p.m.

Witnesses say two men are in handcuffs on the side of Trepanier Bench Road, across from Hainle Vineyards in Peachland.

Police had earlier been searching for at least an hour in the Trepanier Heights neighbourhood, further north in the community.

RCMP have yet to comment on the incident, or what prompted the police action.
