A man changed the tire on a Ford Ranger pickup on Westside Road on Sunday and then stole the vehicle, RCMP report.
The red, unplated 1991 pickup was sitting in the parking lot of Bill’s New and Used Consignments because it needed repairs – including a new tire.
“At approximately 11:45 a.m., a Caucasian male in his 20s, with short black hair (and) wearing a black winter jacket, was seen walking into the parking lot,” said Const. Jocelyn Noseworthy, RCMP spokesperson. “He put a new tire on the truck, then drove away in it.”
Noseworthy said the rightful owner was informed by telephone when staff at the consignment shop called. He did not recognize the description of the thief.
In another incident, a red 2000 two-door Honda Civic was stolen from a residence on the 2500 block of 30th Avenue on Monday just before 4 a.m.
Noseworthy said the owner of the vehicle woke up to hear the car being driven away.
The car has a B.C. licence plate EB913W.
Anyone with information on either incident is asked to call the Vernon/North Okanagan RCMP at (250) 545-7171 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
