The RCMP hope the public can help them locate Ronald Arthur Teneycke who is considered extremely dangerous. He was last seen driving a white GMC pickup truck.
The following is an official press release from the RCMP:
Earlier this morning (July 22) the Oliver RCMP located and recovered Ronald Teneycke’s vehicle on a local forest service road in a rural area of Oliver.
At that time, it was believed that Teneycke was still in the immediate area. Since it is alleged that Teneycke had committed an armed robbery just days earlier in Oliver, police believe him to be armed and dangerous, so they called in the South East District Emergency Response Team to assist in a ground search for him.
Around 11:30 a.m., the Oliver RCMP learned that an individual picked up a man whom he thought was a hitchhiker on the Baldy Mountain Forest Service Road. The suspect allegedly assaulted the driver with a weapon and stole the owner’s 1999 white three-quarter ton GMC pickup truck bearing BC licence plate 7621 GG, The truck had “Okanagan Rustic Furniture” written across the back window.
If you see this vehicle, do not approach it but call 911 immediately.
Ronald Teneycke is believed to be the suspect and considered to be extremely dangerous and may be armed.
