Cranbrook RCMP is currently looking into two separate stabbings over this past weekend.

In the early morning hours of September 17, Cranbrook RCMP were called to a residence in the 700 Block of Patterson St. RCMP were advised that a stabbing had taken place and that an ambulance was required.

RCMP arrived on scene and noted a 25-year-old male had been stabbed in the abdomen. The matter is drug related and not a random act. After stabbing the male, the suspect fled the scene. The victim was taken to hospital and is being treated for his injuries. The suspect was later located and arrested in Penticton with the assistance of Penticton RCMP. The 29-year-old suspect is being held in custody to be dealt with before the courts.

A second stabbing occurred in the evening on the 17th. Cranbrook RCMP was called to a disturbance in the 2200 block of 12th Street N where a female was refusing to leave the residence and causing problems. The female fought with the occupants resulting in one of the occupants getting slashed with a knife. Police attended the scene and located the female suspect. She was immediately taken into custody. The 28-year old Cranbrook resident was released by the Judicial Justice Centre on extensive conditions. She is to appear in court at a later date. Again this was not a random act and the parties involved knew each other.

The victims of both stabbings did not suffer life threatening injuries.
