Mounties in Creston says a 73-year-old man faces multiple charges, including impaired driving, after a vehicle crashed through a dollar store on Monday morning.

Police say damage to the store was significant after the vehicle drove through the front window of the Your Dollar Store with More.

No one was hurt during the crash, even though police say there were numerous adults and children shopping inside.

Police interactions with the driver, who is a Creston man, set off the impaired investigation and led to the charges.
