RCMP are investigating an assault complaint reported around 9 a.m. Saturday but don’t know who was involved.

Salmo Cpl. Barry Graham says it happened on Highway 3B just west of Meadows Junction at the bottom of the Bombi Pass towards Fruitvale.

A passerby reported hitting a woman with some sort of stick inside a green Dodge or Plymouth van.

“Unfortunately no license plate information was obtained and those involved had departed the area prior to the arrival of the police,” Graham says.

The van had apparently been parked just off of the highway for a few hours prior to the reported assault. RCMP are trying to identify the occupants.
