Holiday grinches are on the prowl, Victoria police are warning, and their favourite target is presents left in cars.
On Dec. 9, a victim reported having $1,000 worth of gifts stolen from their vehicle in the 1100-block of View Street. Officers are investigating but no suspects have been identified.
To show people just how easily a thief can break into and steal valuables from cars, VicPD released a short holiday video.
To report information about this theft, call the VicPD report desk at 250-995-7654, extension 1, or report anonymously to Greater Victoria Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
