Kelowna RCMP arrested a suspect linked to a theft and assault from last month on Friday.
33-year old Mitchell Jakku of Kelowna allegedly stole a number of items from a store on the 1900 block of Harvey Avenue. When the suspect attempted to leave, a loss prevention officer attempted to arrest him, only for the suspect to become combative and flee on foot.
Almost one month later, on February 1st, RCMP identified Jakku from security footage of the incident and issued an arrest warrant.
Thanks to tips from the public, Jakku was arrested a day later and taken into custody.
He was released shortly afterwards, and will appear in court on Thursday, February 8th.
