A car bomb in downtown Kelowna?

A vehicle fire that occurred near the parking lot beside Christopher's restaurant Jan. 11 was a result of what police are describing as a "low-order explosive device."



"A high-order (explosive device) would've likely created more physical damage to the ground and the surroundings, this was really contained to the vehicle itself," said Const. Kris Clark.



The car bomb was detonated in the early morning hours of Jan. 11 and police do not believe it to be a random act of vandalism.



Clark wouldn't reveal who the vehicle belonged to and said there is no indication at this point to suggest it was gang-related.



"There's no indication for motive as of yet," said Clark.



He added this is the first instance of a car bomb he has come across during his career as a Mountie.



"I've seen vehicle fires, arson specifically, to vehicles, which was targeted. We have seen specific damage, vandalism, to specific vehicles. But certainly nothing where an explosive device was used that I recall."



Although no one was injured from the incident, Clark noted the public could've potentially been in danger.



"Such an act could lead to unintended persons being injured. Due to the nature of the incident, there's a concussive force, which can send broken glass and result in flames as well.



"Due to the serious nature of the incident, it's our highest priority to solve it in order to ensure public safety."



The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information is asked to call the Kelowna RCMP at 250-762-3300.

If you watched the chbc news you know who's vehicle it was. He will be dead soon. He and his 'kingpin crew' are one foot in the grave. The bottom of the barrel scumbags in Kelowna.

It blew the vehichle up didn't it? There are not many vehicle bombings in BC YET. Leave it to Kelowna to be one of the first.

[logman]

Hopefully they will do it right next time. Kelowna would be better off without a piece of garbage like that. Too funny. A 13 year old from Afganistan would have done a better job.

You should realise that the folks in Afghanistan have grenades and artillery shells laying around, that makes it easier to blow things up. They did the best with what they had. Even the bad guys have had budget cuts.

Compressed flatulence just doesn't have the explosive power it once had.

Woot

Kelowna soon to be #1 for car bombings in BC.

Kelowna, #1 again for something. There's no such thing as bad press. Is there?

Haha you bet number 1 for almost everything it seems its hard to keep up with all the surveys and polls and reports on how everything just keeps picking up and getting busier and setting all kinds of records for almost everything good and bad!

Such a legit town. First thing you see driving in is a organized crime clubhouse - who blow each other up on our downtown streets.

Downtown Kelowna - it's happening!
