Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 27 Sep, 2018 06:30 PM
    KELOWNA, B.C. — British Columbia's police watchdog is investigating after two people went into medical distress at a Kelowna RCMP detachment soon after being arrested.
     
     
    The Mounties say officers in West Kelowna responded to a report of a "suspicious occurrence" at an area near Lamby Lake, where a complainant said several people appeared to be working on vehicles.
     
     
    Police say they found two licence plates associated with the vehicles had been reported stolen, and they located a man and woman allegedly trying to flee the area in a stolen pickup truck.
     
     
    They say a spike belt was deployed and the two suspects were taken into custody with the assistance of a police dog.
     
     
    RCMP say both the 24-year-old woman and the 32-year-old man went became unresponsive shortly after arriving at the Kelowna detachment, and they were treated by paramedics and taken to hospital.
     
     
    The Independent Investigations Office of B.C. is now investigating to determine whether police action or inaction could be linked to the two individuals' medical distress.
