Some files of note for the month of May, as per Media releases from the West Shore RCMP newsroom:

On May 1 a 19 year old Langford woman, was walking alone on Atkins Avenue in Langford. She was approached by a lone male who attempted to steal her purse. The female was able to defended herself, sustaining minor wounds from an edged weapon during the struggle. The suspect was unsuccessful in stealing the woman's purse, and fled the scene on foot.

On May 7 a citizen alerted the West Shore RCMP, reporting that a male was in the process of breaking into a vacant home on Helmcken Rd, in View Royal. West Shore RCMP responded and arrested a known prolific offender of no fixed address. The suspect was held in custody and is facing charges of Unlawfully in a Dwelling house and Possession of Methamphetamine.

On May 7 West Shore RCMP Street Crime Unit arrested a 30 year old Langford prolific offender on an outstanding warrant for Theft Under $5,000. Police had knowledge the man was inside a home in the 2000 block of Sunderland Rd in Langford and executed a warrant to enter the residence to arrest him. He was arrested without incident. As a result of this investigation the suspect faces additional charges of Possession of Stolen Property and Theft Under $5000. The suspect was remanded into custody.

During the night of May 25 over twenty-five vehicles were broken into in the Langford area. The majority of these vehicles were unlocked and further reports in other areas were received on May 26th of similar occurrences.
