A dangerous driver has been taken off the road after some successful sleuthing from police and the public.

On the afternoon of Feb. 9, two motorcycles were seen weaving in and out of traffic at a high rate of speed on Highway 97 near Ellis Street. RCMP followed from a safe distance before turning on their sirens, though the drivers were able to flee.

On Feb. 15, a motorcycle matching the description of one of the bikes from the previous incident was seen driving dangerously on Hwy. 97 in West Kelowna, though could not be located once police arrived on scene.

Similar reports came in on March 2, prompting police to launch an extensive investigation that led them to the 3000 block of McIver Road, where they spotted the blue Yamaha in a garage. A man outside matched the description of the driver, and was arrested on charges of dangerous driving.

Mark Booth with the Kelowna RCMP香蕉视频直播檚 Traffic Services department. 香蕉视频直播淭he West Kelowna CRU team and BCHP-Kelowna members conducted an excellent investigation tracking down the rider of this motorcycle and taking it off the streets. I truly believe we saved this rider from inevitably sustaining serious/life altering injuries and prevented an innocent driver from enduring a traumatic event.香蕉视频直播
