A suspicious death in Sooke has prompted a major police investigation, with officers now asking the public for help tracking a vehicle believed to be connected to the case.
According to Sooke RCMP, officers were called to a mobile home park in the 7000 block of West Coast Road at approximately 3:20 a.m. on Saturday, April 11th, after a man was found deceased inside a residence.
Police say the death is being treated as suspicious.
As investigators began gathering evidence at the scene, they identified a suspect vehicle believed to be linked to the incident.
About an hour later, the vehicle was located by West Shore RCMP and two occupants were taken into custody.
The Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crime Unit has since taken conduct of the investigation, with support from both Sooke RCMP and West Shore RCMP.
Investigators are now asking anyone who may have seen a red MINI Cooper in the area to come forward.
Police are particularly interested in any sightings or dash cam footage captured between midnight and 4 a.m. on April 11th along West Coast Road in Sooke and extending to West Shore Parkway in Langford.
Anyone with information is asked to contact VIIMCU at (250) 380-6211.
