Vernon RCMP searching for hit and run/assault suspects

Hit & run caught on camera

Vernon police are searching for witnesses who may have seen a hit and run and assault incident that occurred back in March.

About 6:45 p.m. March 24, a 47-year-old cyclist had a verbal altercation with some men in a white Jeep Cherokee. As the rider pedalled away, the driver of the Jeep ran into him and knocked him to the ground. Two of the occupants of the Jeep then came out of the vehicle and assaulted the cyclist.

"Police have continued to investigate the incident over the past several months, and we have determined there were three occupants in the vehicle," says Cpl. Tania Finn.

"Our investigators have located and seized the white Jeep Cherokee involved, but we are still looking to identify the male driver and the two male passengers."

Security footage of the incident has been released to help identify the suspects, along with photos of the driver and two passengers, who are shown below.
