After the officer noticed a man in the passenger seat who was a suspect in a theft from a local Walmart a day prior, a traffic stop was conducted, and an Alberta man was arrested. After searching the vehicle, police say a loaded shotgun was also uncovered.

The vehicle was also discovered to be one of 12 stolen from a Fort McMurray, Alta., business. The suspect was transported to cells, and he was remanded until Thursday, Nov. 24.

“This male was also on several release orders from Alberta and clearly shows little regard for the courts or public safety,” said Const. Mike Della-Paolera, media relations officer with the Kelowna RCMP.
