Thanks to the quick actions of our officers and the assistance of the Victoria Police Department, a prolific offender has been arrested and charged in connection with a break and enter.
In the early morning of December 11, 2024, Saanich Police were alerted to a break and enter at a home in the Cordova Bay area. A large number of items were stolen from the home.
Further information led us to a storage facility in Victoria’s jurisdiction, where all the stolen items were located inside a locker.
On December 12, with the assistance of the Victoria Police Department, the suspect, Andrew Knowland, was arrested without incident, in the 1900 block of Bay Street.
Mr. Knowland has been charged with five criminal offenses related to the break and enter.
He remains in custody with a future court date pending.
