An Alberta man has lost his vehicle for a week and been handed nearly 800 dollars in tickets for a stunt pulled at a Victoria park just 30 metres from an occupied playground.
Police say they were called yesterday afternoon when witnesses reported a Chevy Camaro burning circles, also known as doing donuts, in the grass at Irving Park.
When officers spoke with the driver they learned he drove to Victoria from Alberta, in the unregistered and uninsured vehicle, in order to camp in a city park.
Traffic officers impounded the vehicle for seven days for the donuts and handed the driver 794 dollars in tickets for not having insurance and driving without consideration.
