A witness reported seeing the driver of a blue Jeep Liberty fail to remain at the scene after she crashed her vehicle into a parking meter and a parking sign, which then went smashing through the window of a downtown business.
Police say it is a case of hit and run involving property damage and they want to speak with the driver.
The suspect vehicle was last seen by the witness, who snapped a picture as it turned northbound onto Water Street from Lawrence Avenue.
“Investigators are now releasing images of the suspect vehicle, believed to be a blue Jeep Liberty SUV with an Alberta licence plate attached,” Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey says. “The vehicle may still be in the Central Okanagan and will likely have damage to the passenger side area of the front bumper.”
