Thief pinches poppy donation box; banned from Tim Hortons

On November 7, staff from the Invermere Tim Hortons reported someone had stolen their poppy fund donation box. Police viewed the surveillance footage and interviewed several individuals before identifying a suspect. The suspect subsequently returned the money to the Tim Hortons and is now banned from the business.

Five minor vehicle incidents Nov. 9

Snowfall on November 9 resulted in five minor motor vehicle incidents. Three single vehicle collisions occurred in Windermere, one in Radium Hot Sprints and one in Invermere.
