A man who was arrested along with three others who allegedly tried to flee from police on Twin Lakes Road was granted bail Monday.

Brian William Cooper, 27, was granted a recognizance Monday in Penticton Provincial Court on a $1,500 surety.

Cooper will have to obey a curfew from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. and a publication ban was placed on the matter preventing further details of the bail hearing from being published.

Cooper is co-accused along with Darryn Allen Nelson, 40, Derek John Ledgard, 22 and Chelsey Anne Thorstenson, 28, who were all arrested on Dec. 23 after RCMP alleged the group led officers on a chase through the Twin Lakes area, and all four are charged with property crime-related offences.

Thorstenson was granted bail on a $1,000 surety on Dec. 30 and Nelson’s bail hearing was adjourned on Jan. 5  to a later date.
