West Kelowna RCMP were dispatched to a break and enter that occurred at 2:30 AM on November 6, 2012 at a car and dog wash business located on the 2400 block of Dobbin Road.

When unsuccessful with that, he then smashed two windows in the overhead bay doors facing Dobbin Road. He left empty-handed, but created approximately $600 in damage to the vacuum box and two broken windows. The suspect is a white male, 20-30 years of age, wearing white or off-white loose gym pants, a medium blue hoodie with letters across the chest and a back pack.
