UPDATE: 6:25 p.m.
A man who is believed to have drowned in Okanagan Lake Saturday morning had attempted to break into a home on the 8700 block of Okanagan Landing Road before jumping into the lake to flee police.
Just after 3 a.m., Vernon RCMP responded to the area after a homeowner called 911 about a "distraught" man who had tried to break into a home.
Police found a man in the area who matched the suspect's description and began talking with him, before he became "aggressive" with police and ran towards the lake.
"As police set up containment of the area, a splashing noise was heard coming from the lake," said Staff Sgt. Annie Linteau of the RCMP. "Upon investigating the noise, police saw an individual, believed to be the same man, swimming away from shore before going under water. It is not believed that the man resurfaced."
Using a nearby kayak, police attempted to rescue the man, but they were unsuccessful.
Subsequent search efforts from the Vernon Search and Rescue, the police dog service and the RCMP underwater recovery team have also turned up nothing.
Search efforts are expected to continue Sunday morning.
Police are asking anyone with information about the incident, or of the man's whereabouts to call 250-545-7171.
UPDATE: 5:00 p.m.
RCMP divers spent Saturday afternoon searching Okanagan Lake, but they've yet to find what they're looking for.
While police wouldn't confirm they're looking for a body, Vernon Search and Rescue crews confirmed earlier in the day they had been called to retrieve a body from the lake.
"They're done for the night and they'll be returning tomorrow," said the Vernon RCMP's Sgt. Colby Attlesey of the RCMP divers.
Police have yet to comment on who the person they're searching for was, but witnesses said they believed someone had stolen a kayak early Saturday morning while fleeing from police.
ORIGINAL: 10:40 a.m.
Vernon Search and Rescue were called to help recover a body from Okanagan Lake after a man drowned early Saturday.
There are few details at this time, but search and rescue members confirmed they were called to retrieve the body off the 9600 block of Eastside Road.
Mary Evans said she heard voices and saw police lights near her home about 4:30 a.m.
When she went outside to investigate, a uniformed officer forcefully told her to get back in the house.
“There were police everywhere,” she said. “Another policeman ran past the house, then three of them came down to the waterside. After that, we just heard voices.”
Evans said it's her understanding a suspect stole a neighbour's kayak and fled onto the lake.
A neighbour said her red kayak was missing, and one matching that description was seen on shore near the public beach at Whitepoint Road.
“We heard (police) say 75 feet in the water, now he's 50 feet. So he had apparently gone into the water,” the woman said, adding a dinghy from their lakeshore property had been pulled out of their shed.
“He was trying to escape somehow,” she said. “What he did, who knows?”
Police at the scene were not able to comment on the incident.
Castanet will have more information as soon as it becomes available.
