CRIME: ATTEMPTED THEFT OF PORSCHE
DATE: August 18, 2018
RCMP FILE: 2018-50553
A resident of the 9800 block of Okanagan Road West in Lake Country returned home after being away for a week to discover that someone had tried to steal his grey 1999 911 Porsche from the driveway. The would-be thieves tampered with the passenger window, front windshield and the side window. The driver’s side front wheel well screws were missing and the trim was moved, which is how to unlock and disable a Porsche, however the car has larger tires and a lower suspension so luckily the thieves were defeated.
