The two men, who fled from the area on foot, were said to be in possession of bear spray and a pair of bolt cutters, when they allegedly threatened staff who had confronted them.
“Both suspects were taken into police custody, without further incident, at nearby Sutherland Bay Park,” said RCMP Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey, in a press release.
“Those arrested suspects were later positively identified by police, who determined that one of those men had breached the conditions of release related to his Probation Order.”
A 35-year-old Kelowna man and a 37-year-old Kelowna man were held in police custody. Both men were expected to appear in Court on Monday to each face a number of potential criminal charges.
