The fleeing vehicle was later located in the Notch Hill area, where it had gone off the road and into a ditch due to poor conditions and snow-covered roads.
Upon discovering the vehicle, officers determined that two people had fled the vehicle. Police followed their tracks and a police dog unit was brought in to assist.
After a lengthy tracking process with the police dog, a man was located who was attempting to hide from police.
The man, who is not known to be from Salmon Arm, had warrants for his arrest in Kamloops, Merrit and Vancouver. The outstanding arrest warrants were for obstructing a police officer, failure to comply, assaulting a police officer and possession of stolen property over $5000.
