Calls of note
On the evening of May 13, police received multiple reports of individuals being shot with a BB gun. The victims in both instances were able to provide a clear vehicle description. Police located the suspect vehicle and conducted a traffic stop that resulted in the arrest of two individuals and the seizure of gel/BB-style guns. The suspect was identified and was issued an undertaking with two charges of assault with a weapon and multiple conditions including a curfew.
Our officers booked 43 individuals into Cranbrook cells including five individuals arrested on outstanding warrants, seven individuals remanded into custody after bail hearings, and 3 individuals held for breaching court ordered conditions.
In addition to calls for service officers were also out conducting radar enforcement in school zones, curfew checks and proactive patrols which resulted in threee separate 90-day Immediate Roadside Prohibitions (IRP’s) being issued.
Our officers also had the pleasure of participating in some great community events throughout the month including multiple bike registration events, the Kootenay Children’s Festival, school visits, detachment tours and our Coffee with Cop events.
