On August 28 2023, The West Shore RCMP investigated a report of tires being slashed on three separate vehicles in the West Shore Town Centre parking lot located at 2945 Jacklin Rd, Langford.

Through the investigation, police were able to identify three 14-year-old youth suspects who were caught on mall surveillance camera stabbing the vehicle tires.

All three youth admitted to being responsible for the damage valued at over $1000 dollars and their parents were notified.

Given the age of the accused, police opted to divert the youth to the Restorative Justice Program. West Shore Restorative Justice is a program facilitated by volunteers with the West Shore RCMP. The primary mandate of West Shore Restorative Justice Program is to facilitate Community Justice Forums where the accused take ownership of their actions and, agree to reparations thereby diverting offenders away from criminal courts.

Recently, the youth participated in a Restorative Justice Forum in which affected parties came together to discuss the impact of their actions.

The reparation agreement was completed this week and consisted of the youth writing apology letters, paying a combined fine of $1050, which was distributed amongst the victims to help cover the cost of tire replacements.

Each of the youth also donated a Christmas hamper this season. The youth were all very remorseful and sincere in giving their apologies to the victims. I am confident the youth have learned a valuable lesson through this process and have successfully been diverted away from the criminal courts, said Randie Johal, West Shore Restorative Justice Coordinator.
