Craig Momney

Craig Momney reports on how vehicle crime, road safety enforcement and collisions affect everyday people, pairing police information with the experiences of drivers, families and small businesses. He works as a digital journalist for Global News and is an experienced video journalist and producer in the broadcast industry.

Vehicle crime and police warnings

Much of Momney’s work centres on vehicle-related crime and the warnings police issue to help people protect their property. He covers spikes in catalytic converter thefts, explaining how police are alerting vehicle owners and highlighting the scale of losses in his on-air reports. In a follow-up piece, he speaks with a transportation company owner dealing with repeated catalytic converter thefts, connecting an abstract crime trend to the operational and financial strain on a business.

He frequently reports on thefts that target individual vehicles and the people attached to them. In a story about a stolen sentimental vehicle, he focuses on a family’s emotional loss as well as the value of the car itself, underscoring that the crime is about more than property. In coverage of a string of vehicle break-ins in the Evergreen neighbourhood, he reports on police investigations and gives space to residents’ concerns about safety on their streets.

Momney also tackles less obvious vehicle crimes that can catch drivers off guard. In a licence plate swap case, he details how a woman discovered her plate had been replaced with one from a stolen vehicle and outlines the practical advice authorities give, including reporting missing plates, using security bolts and checking vehicles regularly. His co-bylined story on “bike theft season” follows police as they urge cyclists to prepare with strong locks and secure storage, reinforcing specific steps people can take to reduce risk. Across these pieces, he consistently combines crime trends, police messaging and concrete guidance, making vehicle crime coverage immediately usable for viewers and readers.

Collisions, road rage and accountability on the roads

Another through-line in Momney’s reporting is accountability when driving incidents escalate into collisions, assaults or long-running disputes. He covers a road rage incident near a gas station that left an 80-year-old man in hospital, reporting on the charges laid and the serious consequences of an altercation that began around a vehicle. In a separate story, he follows a northwest Calgary family seeking answers after a motorist crashed into their home and drove away, focusing on their frustration and the search for responsibility after a driver fled the scene.

Momney extends the accountability lens to insurance and corporate responses. In a piece about an Amazon truck hitting a woman’s car, he reports that two years after the crash, her insurance still will not cover the repairs, documenting the bureaucratic and financial strain on one driver. He also reports on red-light violations, telling audiences that police have issued more than 60,000 camera tickets since 2024 and using those numbers to show how enforcement tools respond to risky driving behaviour. In his coverage of construction zone speeding tickets, he focuses on drivers who speed through work zones, the hundreds of tickets already issued, and the implications for worker and driver safety. Together, these stories show him using individual incidents to illustrate broader questions of responsibility, whether it lies with drivers, insurers or the justice system.

Road safety, infrastructure and everyday impacts

Momney regularly links automotive issues to the conditions of the roads themselves and the public agencies that maintain and patrol them. In a co-bylined story on pothole repairs, he reports that wild weather swings have put city crews behind schedule, explaining how the backlog affects drivers navigating damaged roads and how officials plan to catch up. His coverage of construction zone speeding again intersects with infrastructure, showing how temporary roadwork, signage and enforcement align to shape driver behaviour.

He also looks at law enforcement beyond standard patrol cars. In a piece on the police mounted unit, he reports on how officers on horseback find ways to beat the heat while working, offering a glimpse into day-to-day operational challenges for units that still share the road environment. When reporting on provincial plans to tackle rural crime, he explains how sheriffs are being called on to protect rural residents, tying policing strategy to safety on rural routes and in smaller communities. Across these stories, Momney places vehicles within a larger system of roads, weather, construction and policing, showing how infrastructure decisions and enforcement campaigns filter down to the daily experience of people moving through their cities and towns.

Community reporting beyond the automotive beat

While his core focus is vehicle-related crime and safety, Momney also covers wider community and public health stories. His report on the Gutsy Walk fundraiser highlights an event that raised more than $110,000 to support people living with inflammatory bowel diseases, foregrounding both the fundraising total and the goal of improving life for those affected. These pieces show that he steps beyond automotive topics when a community event or issue has clear implications for residents’ wellbeing.

Across formats, Momney works in both short video segments and written articles. Many of his stories appear as on-air reports in Global News newscasts, where he narrates events, crime trends and safety campaigns directly to viewers. Others are full articles or co-bylined pieces that provide additional context, quotations and practical detail for digital audiences. The consistent thread is his focus on the real-world consequences of vehicle use, crime and enforcement, and his habit of grounding those stories in clear advice and the voices of the people affected.
