THEFT OF RINGS FROM TRUCK

On August 16th a man contacted West Kelowna RCMP to report a theft from his vehicle parked on the 2000 block of Mallard Drive in Sage Creek.   The owners had thought the vehicle was locked, but as there was no damage to the vehicle it may not have been.  Thieves took some Serengeti sunglasses, prescription sunglasses and 3 diamond rings that were in a sunglasses case.   One of the rings was a 14kt gold ring with a  .76 carat diamond raised with a smaller teardrop diamond on each side and tiny diamonds on the band.  Another was a 10 kt gold anniversary ring with 4 or 5 round diamonds set into the band.  On the inside of the band is the word “Love” with a diamond as the ‘O”.  The 3rd ring is a thinner 10 kt gold anniversary ring band with diamonds across the top.

BREAK AND ENTER - THEFT OF AUTO

On the afternoon of August 8th an alert neighbor contacted West Kelowna RCMP when he noticed suspicious activity at his neighbor’s home on the 1100 block of Allison Place in Lakeview Heights.  Two men seemed to have been “casing” the neighborhood earlier in the day, and when they returned in the afternoon they knocked on the door for several minutes before one man entered the home through the garage window.    The thieves ransacked the house and left with many items- mostly jewellery.  Items taken include a wedding ring and diamond rings, a women’s “CHS 1977” grad ring, a solitaire diamond necklace, pearls and pearl bracelet, older  (pre-1970) silver coins, limited edition .25/$1/$2 coins, a men’s Citizen watch , a Blackberry Bold phone and Quail’s Gate gift cards.    One of the thieves drove off in the owner’s 2009 black Mitsubishi Eclipse with BC license plate number 334KVE and VIN 4A3AL25F19E603153.  The convertible has a significant dent beside the driver side door handle and a scrape on the passenger side rear quarter panel.  The two thieves, one light skinned and one dark, arrived in the neighborhood driving a loud light blue Cadillac DTS with Alberta plates.
