A 33-year-old man has been arrested following an alleged break-in at a recreation centre in Colwood.
At approximately 12:45 p.m. on April 10, West Shore RCMP say they received a call from a maintenance worker at the Juan De Fuca Recreation Centre in Colwood, who told them there was a man inside the building “violently smashing windows and damaging” the property.
West Shore RCMP say their officers arrived on scene and within minutes and arrested Wesley Switzer, 33, who appeared to be “under the influence of narcotics” at the time.
There was evidence of a door being pried open. The witness confronted the suspect who threatened to burn the building down. The suspect then left the recreation centre and went across the street to Galaxy Motors where he began arguing with the employees and throwing rocks at the vehicles, causing damage to some,
Const. Nancy Saggar, West Shore RCMP media relations officer said in a press release.
Switzer has since been charged with break and enter, uttering threats and mischief. He remains in custody.
