Langford construction site the target of 2 separate theft attempts in 1 day, RCMP say
Mounties on Vancouver Island say they received two separate reports of theft from the same construction site in the span of four hours Wednesday.
The site in question is located at 2165 Bellamy Rd. in Langford, West Shore RCMP said in a news release Thursday.
The first theft occurred around 10:40 a.m. Wednesday. In surveillance video, a black Ford F150 pickup truck can be seen pulling into the site, according to police, who did not share the video, but shared stills from it.
Two men exited the truck and began loading equipment from the site into the truck bed, police said.
The second incident occurred around 2:40 p.m., approximately four hours after the first.
'Police believe a second theft from the same site was interrupted by witnesses who reported a white truck driving out of the site at a high rate of speed after the suspect realized they were being watched,' Mounties said in the release.
The suspect vehicle in the first theft was an 'early 2000s' model two-door F150 with 'a black folding Tonneau cover, a Harley Davidson sticker on the left side of the tailgate and writing on the box of the truck,' police said.
