Victoria police are looking for witnesses after arresting a man for firing a pellet gun at people in the 900 block of Pandora Avenue last week.
No victims have been identified in the shooting, which occurred at about 10:15 p.m. on Oct. 2.
Police were able to identify and locate the suspect through surveillance footage, which showed a man firing several rounds from the pellet gun before walking away.
VicPD said it plans to recommend charges to Crown counsel. The suspect remains in custody pending a court date.
Investigators are now hoping to speak with witnesses or potential victims.
“The use of any type of firearm, whether real or replica, in a threatening manner is unacceptable,” said Const. Terri Healy.
“We urge anyone who witnessed this event or has information to come forward. Witness or victim information will aid our work in holding those responsible for these behaviours accountable.”
Police are asking anyone with information about the incident to call 250-995-7654, extension 1, and reference file number 24-36205.
