Columbia Valley RCMP Report
By Sgt. Darren Kakuno
This past week, March 21 through March 27, Columbia Valley RCMP responded to 61 calls for service. The following is a summary of some of the files our officers responded to.
Snowboard falls off vehicle headed to Panorama
On Monday, March 21, a witness reported a snowboard fell out of the box of a truck at the intersection of Laurier Street and Panorama Road in Invermere. The witness was unable to get the attention of the driver and the truck continued toward Panorama. The owner of the snowboard can claim it at the Columbia Valley RCMP detachment.
Investigation continues after crash on Panorama Road
On Tuesday, March 22 at about 10:15 p.m., emergency crews responded to a single vehicle collision on Panorama Road in Invermere. The driver of a southbound Kia Sorrento failed to negotiate a curve in the road and drove into a ditch. While investigating the incident, the officer formed grounds to believe alcohol was a factor in the collision and initiated an impaired driving investigation. The investigation is ongoing.
Arrests made in Windermere after items stolen in Cranbrook
On Friday, March 25, Columbia Valley RCMP received a request from Cranbrook RCMP to be on the lookout for a male and female who allegedly stole items from a grocery store in Cranbrook and departed in a Volkswagen Golf. A Columbia Valley officer recognized the suspects in the security video and located them in Windermere. Evidence of the offence was recovered from the suspect vehicle. Both suspects were arrested for theft and released on conditions to appear in court on a later date.
