Need Help?
As our isolation time continues, we realise that there are vulnerable people within our community that may need help.
We are still here to take anonymous tips about domestic abuse and issues where a person’s safety is in jeopardy.
We have reached out to our community partners and they provided us a list of all the support services that are currently functioning in the Greater Victoria area. The list is split into categories of care and explains the way an organisation is conducting their work.

Understanding Youth and Gangs
Victoria Police are appealing for witnesses to an unprovoked assault that took place on Thursday the 6th of August at about 2pm.
The victim was a lady who was working in the community garden at Cecelia Ravine park when she noticed what appeared to be a lost black Labrador. She approached the dog and took some photos of it on her phone. As she did this she was suddenly assaulted from behind by a man. He pushed her to the ground and threw her phone into the ravine. He then went over to a tent that was nearby and packed it up quickly. He was accompanied by a female and the dog running off along Cecelia Road.
The man is described as white, in his early 20’s, about 5ft6”, slim build. He wore a football jersey with the number 44 on the back. He had a baseball cap on and shorts. The female was riding an orange bicycle and wore a halter style top. She had pink hair.

The mobility scooter in the picture was stolen overnight from its owner on 4/5th August. it was kept in a secure underground parking lot in the Mcdonald Parkway area.
Its elderly owners are heartbroken as this was their only way of transporting themselves independently. Imagine that, not being able to choose when you headout to run errands or meet a friend for a socially distanced coffee.
Fabulous Facebook followers please share this image far and wide and make this ride too hot to handle!
The scooter is a Trailmaster, Bigfoot 4 wheel scooter. It has a black canopy, a sticker on the back of it saying "City wide Mobility Scooter "and a very patriotic Canada flag on a flagpole.(Clearly the thief was having a very UnCanadian moment when they decided to steal it)
If you know who stole it or where it now is and you wish to remain anonymous call us 1-800-222-8477 or submit a tip online at www.victoriacrimestoppers.ca .Sidney RCMP are investigating this file and you can call them if you are happy to speak with the police.
