Over the past week three vehicles were reported to have been broken into and personal items stolen. The vehicles were parked on Goldsmith Rd., Upper Terrace, and Hampshire Rd. A gentle reminder to all to keep your car locked and remove all valuables from the vehicle when not use. (Oak Bay Police Files 2020-421/426/434)

On February 13, 2020 at 10:00 pm, Oak Bay Police were called to a report of a woman screaming at Willows Beach. Officers immediately attended and confirmed all was well. Three female teens were screaming after deciding to go for a swim in the frigid waters. All came ashore and were in good spirits and health (Oak Bay Police File 2020-466). We’re very grateful for the call however as we take such calls very seriously.

The Polar Plunge was held at Willows Beach on February 16, 2020 in support of BC Special Olympics and the Law Enforcement Torch Run. Approximately 180 people took the plunge at Willows Beach and over $40,000 was raised. Thank you to all who participated and supported this worthwhile event.

On February 14, 2020, two separate homeowners on Cedar Hill Cross Rd reported their garage had been entered overnight. Sentimental items, power tools, bicycle parts and bottles of liquor were some of the items stolen. These files are still under investigation (Oak Bay Police File 2020-466/475). Residents are kindly asked to ensure sheds and garages are kept locked and valuable items are not visible through shed or garage windows.

Oak Bay Police continue to ask residence to report all suspicious activity observed in and around our community.
