File # 2025-4742

On January 27, 2025 at approximately 2:18 p.m., Kelowna RCMP had the suspect vehicle associated to an Explosive Disposal Unit (EDU) deployment earlier today, towed from the William R. Bennett Bridge.

The vehicle was examined by EDU who rendered the vehicle safe for transport. The bridge has since been reopened to traffic in both directions.

This investigation remains ongoing and no further details will be provided at this time, says Cpl. Michael Gauthier Kelowna RCMP Media Relations Officer. I’d like to acknowledge and thank all of our partner agencies for coming together and working through this incident. Thank you especially to the public for understanding and remaining patient while this matter was resolved safely.
