Police Arrest 7 People Barricaded Inside a Saanich Home
Police said seven people were arrested without incident after a break-and-enter report led to a barricaded subject response.
- Just before 11 a.m. on Tuesday, Saanich Police received a report of a break and enter in the 100 block of Battleford Avenue, leading to the arrest of seven individuals who allegedly barricaded themselves inside.
- Investigators determined that several individuals had entered the residence and were refusing to leave, prompting officers to classify the situation as a barricaded subject incident requiring tactical response.
- Police deployed at least seven cruisers, an armoured vehicle and more than a dozen officers from patrol, the Integrated Canine Service and the Greater Victoria Emergency Response Team to establish containment around 1 p.m.
- The barricade ended peacefully at approximately 2:30 p.m. with all seven individuals taken into custody without incident; Battleford Avenue was cleared and reopened shortly after.
- Saanich Police continue investigating the incident as further details remain unreleased, with officers pursuing leads into the circumstances surrounding the break-in and barricade.
