File # 2024-2242

On November 27, 2024 at around 9:45 a.m., Salt Spring Island RCMP received a report of a stolen Dodge pick-up truck that was taken sometime overnight from a residence on Blackburn Road. Through the investigation, surveillance footage from BC Ferries showed that the truck left Salt Spring Island via the Vesuvius Bay ferry and was last seen offloading at the Crofton Terminal at 8:50 a.m. on that same day.

On November 30, 2024, just after midnight, Sooke RCMP received a report from an individual advising police he was currently following his stolen Winnebago trailer near Sooke, B.C. As police patrolled the area, they located and intercepted a stolen truck towing the stolen trailer. The driver was arrested without incident.

The suspect, a 40-year-old man of no fixed address was subsequently released and is set to appear in court on February 20, 2025.

The investigation remains ongoing.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Salt Spring Island RCMP at 250-537-5555.
