Thief drops through roof

Police say a man removed a skylight from the roof of Canadian Tire in Penticton and dropped down into the store in a "daring" theft.

Cpl. Don Wrigglesworth said Canadian Tire staff saw a vehicle running outside the service bay at closing time, about 8:30 p.m. 

They saw Canadian Tire merchandise inside the vehicle, and then noticed a man up on the roof going inside the store.

Employees approached him and told him that police were on their way.

He claimed he used to work there and fled, but was later arrested.

He's now been charged with break and enter.
