A couple in a stolen vehicle didn't get far once RCMP were on their heels Monday.
Vernon North Okanagan RCMP received a report that a stolen vehicle had been located in the area of Louis Estates Road off Westside Road June 9 around 9:30 a.m.
Officers located the truck but it immediately fled north on Westside Road when police approached it.
Other responding officers had positioned themselves in advance and successfully deployed a tire deflation device. The vehicle was disabled and the two occupants fled on foot.
