Staff and customers were evacuated from Value Village on Tuesday after someone released bear spray into the store.
The Victoria Fire Department and Victoria Police Department were called to the scene at 1810 Store St., but no arrests were made.
People complained of mild problems related to the irritant, including runny eyes and coughing.
Staff quickly set up fans to push out any remaining spray, and people were allowed back in approximately an hour later.

VicPD spokesperson Const. Matt Rutherford said there is no indication of a link between this incident, and an incident last week which involved a downtown robbery with pepper spray.
The investigation is ongoing; if the culprit was caught they would potentially face a charge of mischief.
Anyone with information can call the non-emergency police line at 250-995-7654.
