KELOWNA, sa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½ — Mounties in British Columbia say a man they describe as a "dangerous repeat offender" has been arrested in Kelowna.

They say officers found a stolen truck at a home in the city.

Police then waited until the 32-year-old man and a woman entered the vehicle and drove it to a business where they were arrested.

RCMP say both are "well known" to police and have a long history of criminal activity in the community.

They say several charges have been recommended to the BC Prosecution Service.

That includes possession of stolen property over $5,000, failure to comply with probation orders and operating a conveyance while prohibited.
