Saanich police continue to investigate an incident during which two men likely in their 20s broke into an underground parking lot Sunday night and stole several items.

While Saanich police have not arrested anyone, they have received plenty of leads after the manager of the affected building posted video surveillance online.

Things could have turned out differently, he said. B次元官网网址淭here could have been an assault or worse,B次元官网网址� he said.

Carruthers, who also designed and installed surveillance system, said he also plans to share new footage with police. Overall, the duo walked away with items worth $2,000 including audio equipment, and three bicycles, he said.

Saanich Police Sgt. Jereme Leslie said Wednesday that police had no update yet, after officers from both the patrol division and forensic identification section attended the scene Monday.
