Shawnigan Lake RCMP is currently investigating after a man was arrested following a suspicious vehicle complaint on December 3, 2022.

In the morning of December 3, at around 8:00 a.m., Shawnigan Lake RCMP responded to the area of Garnett Rd and Balsam Dr following a report of a blue 2000 Ford Explorer parked with no licence plates, a broken windshield and missing a rear window. Upon arrival, police were able to identify the male driver and the female passenger.
