Unlocked car rifled to no avail
Police received a report of a male rifling through an unlocked vehicle on Monterey Ave. on Oct. 20 and was reported leaving the area on a bike towards Windsor Road. Less than an hour later, police received a second call of a suspicious male on a bike in the same area. Police located the male and identified him. No charges were laid because nothing was reported stolen and he had no stolen property on him.
A few days earlier, in central and south Oak Bay, a number of unlocked vehicles were entered overnight and discovered Oct. 16. The unknown culprit(s) rifled through the vehicles looking items of value, including loose change. Some items were located and returned to owners.
