A theft last week at the Oak Bay Recreation Centre has police reminding users of the facility to take appropriate measures to safeguard their possessions.

On Thursday (Feb. 16) a nylon jacket containing a man’s wallet and cellphone was taken from the pool deck near the hot tub area. The jacket’s owner was using the hot tub at the time.
