Multiple West Shore Offenders Sentenced in Theft, Break-and-Enter Cases

CCTV and patrols helped police identify the offenders, who received jail terms, probation and firearms bans after separate theft and break-and-enter cases.

  • West Shore RCMP announced that three offenders received jail time following investigations into thefts and break-and-enters across Langford, Colwood, and View Royal.
  • 53-Year-Old Jarrod Lane pleaded guilty to breaking into a Langford apartment building and stealing a bicycle valued at about $4,000, receiving a two-year jail term and lifetime firearms prohibition.
  • Two break-and-enter incidents landed 46-year-old Robert Iverson with a 567-day jail sentence, while 63-year-old Blake Smith received 195 days for stealing a truck and boat trailer; CCTV evidence identified Iverson.
  • "These outcomes reflect the continued work of our officers and partners in holding offenders accountable," said a West Shore RCMP news release, concluding investigations across three municipalities.
  • Following his release, Smith received one-year probation with conditions prohibiting him from entering motor vehicles unless authorized, aiming to prevent future theft and maintain community safety.
