On October 19, an officer on late-night patrol watched a suspicious vehicle in the parking lot of TM Roberts School.
A traffic stop led to an impaired driving investigation.
The driver was issued a 90-day Immediate Roadside Prohibition, while the passenger was arrested for breaching curfew conditions and held for a bail hearing.
On October 31, officers responded to a vehicle fire on Perry Creek Road.
Witnesses reported another vehicle leaving the area at high speed.
Police located the vehicle and determined the driver was impaired.
Open liquor was found, and the driver was under conditions not to possess or consume alcohol.
The vehicle was impounded, the driver received a 90-day driving prohibition, and multiple charges were forwarded.
Over the two-week period, officers booked 15 individuals into Cranbrook cells, including one for public intoxication, five for warrant arrests, five on new charges, and four for BC Sheriff transport or court appearances.
