Uniformed, plain-clothes, K9 and heavily-armed, black-clad Emergency Task Force members encircled a property Sunday afternoon shortly after 3 PM on Giant's Head Rd. in Summerland.

They began stopping and searching vehicles that were passing by on the residential road.

A photo taken by a resident who lives on the road that shows RCMP officers as they search for a fugitive.

A member of the RCMP K9 Unit was also spotted searching along the walking-path that runs beside the road.

One local resident, who wishes to remain anonymous, says that she opened her front door and "there were police everywhere."

She was told that an armed fugitive was in the area and that they should go back inside immediately.

They also told her to be on the lookout for a lone male wearing a white shirt.

"They grid-searched our property and searched our motorhome," said the neighbor.  "When I drove by at 7:30 there was still an undercover truck parked at the end of the road."
