West Shore RCMP’s bike patrol officers were near the 2300-block of Belair Road in Langford on March 15 when they discovered a pickup truck which had been reported stolen out of Duncan in February.
Taking a closer look at the Ford F-350, officers quickly discovered a large amount of unopened power tool boxes in its bed worth thousands of dollars, according to a news release published April 20.
Seizing the tools and truck, the investigation revealed the tools had been stolen from a Home Depot location in Langford.
While police were able to reunite the truck and tools with their rightful owners, a suspect in the thefts has yet to be identified.
Anyone with information on who may be responsible for these thefts is asked to contact the West Shore RCMP at 250-474-2264.
