An SUV stolen from the West Shore was found early this morning (July 17) in the ocean off Cattle Point in Oak Bay, according to Oak Bay Police.

A call to police came in around 1:30 a.m., reporting that the SUV was submerged 90 feet from shore and about 10 - 20 feet down.

“By disposing of the stolen vehicle this way, this thief placed people’s lives in danger as these types of operations aren’t without risk,” said Deputy Chief Ray Bernoties.

C-Tow attended and was able to remove the vehicle and it was subsequently towed to the yard.

It was confirmed to be a stolen vehicle from West Shore.

The file is still under investigation.
