The Penticton RCMP Investigative Services Team has made an arrest in connection with an alleged robbery that occurred on September 11, 2026, in the area of Main Street and White Avenue West. See original release here: Penticton RCMP seeking witness in robbery investigation | Royal Canadian Mounted Police 

As a result of the ongoing investigation, police identified the suspect as 27-year-old Tryce Bowman of Penticton. Bowman was arrested on October 2, 2026, and has since been charged with Robbery, Assault with a Weapon, and Disguise with Intent. He remains in custody awaiting a bail hearing. 

 “This arrest reflects the dedication and persistence of our investigators, who worked diligently to identify and locate the suspect,” said Superintendent Beth McAndie, Officer in Charge of the Penticton South Okanagan Similkameen Regional Detachment. “I am proud of the work undertaken by our officers. We remain committed to holding offenders accountable and will continue working hard every day to keep our communities safe.” 

Penticton RCMP would like to thank the public for their assistance following the September 26, 2026, request for information related to the investigation. However, investigators are still looking to speak with the driver of a silver Ford Taurus who was believed to be in the area at the time of the incident and may have information that could assist the investigation.

Anyone who witnessed the incident or who may have information and has not yet spoken with police is asked to contact the Penticton RCMP at 250-492-4300 and reference file number 2026-15066.

As the matter is now before the courts, no further details will be provided at this time.
