Good evening, Victoria! Today started on the dark and cloudy side, but it was nice to see the sun finally break through!
You may have also noticed a low-flying metallic blue helicopter circling parts of Greater Victoria. We’re looking into what it was doing, with one possibility being aerial scans for FortisBC, although it wasn’t the type of helicopter typically used for that work. We hope to have more details later today or tomorrow.
Meanwhile, an off-duty police officer made a grisly discovery on his way to work this morning. After spotting a vehicle on fire and stopping to investigate, the officer discovered a person deceased inside. VicPD’s Major Crime Unit is now investigating.
And for fans of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, we have a fun story coming with a local connection. Don’t worry, this one isn’t filled with drama. 😉
