RCMP are still trying to piece together details of a recent hit and run case in Vernon.

A Hyundai van struck a Honda Civic near 39th Avenue and 36th Street last Wednesday (March 7th), causing minor injuries to two people in the Civic.

The occupants of the van fled the scene on foot, leaving the van behind.

The van was registered to a 28 year old local woman but she maintains her vehicle was taken without her consent.

“The investigation into this matter is on-going and the registered owner of the van could be facing possible motor vehicle act charges,” says RCMP media relations officer Cst. Kelly Brett
