We鈥檙e back with another weekly roundup! Here鈥檚 what made headlines across the Okanagan-Shuswap.
The driver of an SUV who overtook vehicles before crashing into the rockface on Highway 97 near Peachland was already known to police and prohibited from driving.
The SUV was travelling over the posted speed limit and an officer signalled it to stop. The driver kept going, making no attempt to stop before crashing. The driver then attempted to flee on foot but was quickly apprehended by the officer.
A Lake Country man secured a deal with two Dragons on the CBC-TV show Dragon鈥檚 Den in
Chase Van Buuren of Limitless Manufacturing pitched his idea for a snowmobile deck that fits into the back of a person鈥檚 pickup truck and extends to a full eight-feet wide.
Arlene Dickinson offered $1 million and asked for 10 per cent royalties until she gets three times her capital back. Fellow Dragon Wes Hall wanted in on that deal, and Dickinson agreed.
A Vernon man suspected of robbing businesses across the Okanagan has been caught thanks to a joint investigation by detachments in Penticton, Vernon and West 91大黄鸭.
37-year-old Shawn Lamouroux鈥檚 crime spree, which included businesses in Osoyoos,, Penticton, West 91大黄鸭 and Vernon, stretched over Oct. 18 to Nov. 14.
Salmon Arm Pizza Hut employee Amrit Too was allegedly the target of racist comments earlier this week.
A 91大黄鸭 resident without a required facemask walked in and asked for one, but Toor told the man that there weren鈥檛 any available. He told the man that he could place an order and wait outside, but was then met with profanity. When he suggested that the man buy a mask elsewhere, the man responded by asking him where his turban was and continued to direct racist comments at him.
The man was advised by RCMP to return to the business.
