Kelowna RCMP are investigating a disturbing incident that happened in the 100-block of Clifton Road this week.
Reports on social media indicate a man returned to his home near the intersection of Clifton Road and Magic Drive on Wednesday afternoon at approximately 3 p.m. to find a man and a woman attempting to break into the home.
When he confronted the pair, he alleges the man pulled out bear spray and sprayed the homeowner and then sped away in a silver SUV.
"We can confirm that on the afternoon of July 3, 2024 there was an interrupted break and enter at a residence in the 100 block of Clifton Rd. The police are actively investigating several leads in relation to this incident but no further details can be provided at this time," says RCMP spokesperson Ryan Watters.
According to social media posts, the owner wasn't seriously injured and the attack is believed to be random.
Police are asking for anyone who may seen the incident or who has video from a security or door camera to contact them at 250-762-3300 or contact Crime Stoppers.
