Trailer with classic muscle car inside stolen from ‘secured compound’ in Kelowna

Police are hoping the public can help track down a classic muscle car that was inside a trailer stolen in Kelowna late last week.

According to police, the theft happened around 8:30 pm on Friday, Aug. 9, but wasn’t reported to the RCMP until Monday.

The RCMP says CCTV footage shows suspects breaking into a “secured compound” in the 2000 block of Acland Road, hooking up the trailer to a pickup truck and taking off.

On Tuesday, the Kelowna RCMP received a tip claiming that the muscle car was spotted on Hwy 97A in Enderby between 2:30-3 pm on Monday.

Police provided the following descriptions of the stolen car, trailer and suspect vehicle:

• Stolen muscle car: A maroon-coloured 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle dragster with BC plates SJ939J.
• Stolen trailer: A white-coloured 2001 Pace America enclosed trailer with a “Honda Racing” sticker on the side and BC plates 99653K.
• Suspect vehicle: A light-blueish/green coloured, late 2000s GMC dually pickup with an extended cab, long box, chrome rocker panels and chrome side steps.

Anyone with information regarding the suspect vehicle or the whereabouts of the stolen trailer and muscle car are urged to contact the Kelowna RCMP at 250-762-3300 and quote file 2024-46431.

If anyone spots any of the three vehicles described above, they’re urged to contact their local police immediately.
