On August 10, shortly after 4 p.m., Cranbrook RCMP was called to a hit and run involving a parking meter in the 100 block of 11^th Avenue South, outside the Cranbrook Provincial Courthouse.

Investigation revealed the driver of a dark SUV had failed to stop at the intersection of 11^th Avenue and 1^st Street South, crossed into the oncoming lane and struck a parking meter as it continued onto the sidewalk before fleeing South onto 11^th Avenue.

“Luckily no one was present on the sidewalk at the time,” said Sgt. Barry Graham, Cranbrook RCMP Operations NCO.

Investigators have determined the offending vehicle is a 2014 or 2015 Dodge Journey and will have noticeable damage on the front driver’s side.
