Homegrown Sleuth Cracks Theft from Boat Case

Victoria BC – A homegrown sleuth is credited with gathering some compelling evidence in a theft from boat case.

In response to ongoing problems the boat owner was experiencing he had installed a surveillance system inside.  The owner called VicPD after discovering that he had been a victim of a break and enters to his boat and had captured the suspect on video.

Unfortunately for the thief, he did not know that the surveillance video was on as he stole the camera itself, thereby leaving fantastic evidence for officers to follow up on. The video clearly shows the man enter the boat at approximately 1 a.m. on Sunday morning.

Officers are now following up with the complainant and securing the video footage to continue the investigation.
