Police are asking if anyone saw anything suspicious in the area, or has surveillance footage of the area, to contact the West Shore RCMP General Investigation Section. Also, if you have any knowledge of this incident, please contact the West Shore RCMP at (250) 474-2264 or if you wish to remain anonymous, call CRIME STOPPERS at 1-899-8477 (TIPS)
