On February 11, 2026, the Regional Domestic Violence Unit (RDVU), with the assistance of the Saanich Police Street Crime Unit, the Greater Victoria Emergency Response Team, the Island District Emergency Response Team, and the Sidney/North Saanich RCMP, arrested Myles McMorran, a high-risk violent offender wanted on several unendorsed warrants issued by multiple jurisdictions.
Investigators assessed McMorran as posing a significant safety risk to individuals throughout the Capital Regional District, making his arrest a priority for the RDVU.
The arrest was made without incident, and McMorran remains in custody pending a bail hearing outcome.
He faces charges of Assault by Choking, Assault Causing Bodily Harm, Assault, Mischief, Uttering Threats, and Theft in connection with a domestic violence investigation.
The coordinated efforts leading to this arrest highlight the importance of interagency cooperation in managing high‑risk offenders. The RDVU’s role in overseeing this investigation, including assessing and managing risk, coordinating the search and arrest, and supporting the victim beyond the initial incident, demonstrates the value of regional partnerships and continued investment in specialized, collaborative public safety teams.
