2 men arrested after theft from security vehicle

(AP) — Two men were arrested on suspicion of stealing a flashlight and camera from an armored security truck while the driver checked on a call at a Whitefish-area condominium.

Sheriff Chuck Curry says the security truck driver returned to his vehicle early Wednesday and saw two people running away from it. His door was open, a bag was missing and his light bar controls were damaged.

Curry said the security guard saw a vehicle trying to leave the area and spotted his bag inside, so he drew his firearm. The driver walked away. Both men surrendered when deputies arrived.

Eighteen-year-old Keevin Ward of Kalispell and 20-year-old Evan Flink of Missoula face charges of misdemeanor theft, criminal trespass to vehicles and being minors in possession of alcohol.
