Law enforcement is hoping the public can help them identify a suspect who allegedly used a credit card that didn’t belong to them to purchase hundreds of dollars worth of items from a grocery store in Saanich.
According to the Saanich Police Department, the incident happened at a grocery store in the 3800-block of Saanich Road on March 26.

Store security cameras captured the suspect, believed to be a female, which the Greater Victoria Crime Stoppers said in a Facebook post shows her having tattoos on her left hand.
