Man arrested after attempted robbery of delivery driver

A Kelowna resident is facing charges after allegedly attempting to rob a delivery driver.

On Friday April 2, just after 8:40 p.m., a delivery driver was getting into his vehicle in the 1700-block of Ross Road in West Kelowna when an unknown man allegedly struck him with a blunt object and attempted to steal his vehicle.

“The victim fought the attacker off, and the man fled the scene on foot. The victim suffered minor injuries as a result of the attack,” Cpl Jocelyn Noseworthy said.

Officers from West Kelowna RCMP flooded the area, and the suspect was located and arrested a short time later without incident.

The BC Prosecution Service has approved charges of robbery and failure to comply with a court order against 25-year-old Kelowna resident, Kurtis Sanderson. He has been remanded in custody until April 8.
