Victoria police seized various ammunition and weapons from an abandoned tent in Vic West.

Investigators are trying to figure out how and why a cache of weapons and ammo were left in an unoccupied tent in Vic West last week.

Victoria police were helping bylaw officers at a makeshift encampment in the 100-block of Bay Street Thursday when they heard about weapons left in a tent.

They discovered a pair of replica firearms, a knife and ammo including .308-calibre rounds.

However, the owner of said weapons and ammunition was nowhere to be found. Police are now seeking information on who may have left behind the dangerous items.

Anyone with info is asked to call police at 250-995-7654 extension 1, or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
