In addition to the gas station gunman, Keremeos RCMP were after two other people Sunday.

RCMP obtained a warrant to arrest a 47-year-old man in Cawston on Agar Road Sunday afternoon.

The man was wanted by police on outstanding criminal warrants in Penticton. The man locked himself in his house and refused to come out.

“He was arrested without incident,” Cpl. Brian Evans of the Keremeos RCMP detachment said.

Another man who had outstanding warrants was arrested during a traffic stop in Keremeos.

“The police had been looking for him for awhile,” Evans said.

The 32-year-old was arrested roadside without incident.

The 52-year-old man allegedly involved in the gas station incident involving a shotgun was arrested in Penticton around 10 a.m. on Sunday.

All three men were scheduled to appear in Penticton court this week.
