Saanich Police are looking for information about an investigation into several unprovoked assaults over the past year.

In a statement released Tuesday, the department says a man in his 30s has been identified as the person responsible for some of these incidents.

But investigators are still looking for more witnesses and victims to come forward in two assaults that were reported to police in June 2020.

The first incident took place on June 12 between 10:30 and 11 p.m. at the Esso Gas station at the corner of McKenzie Avenue and Shelbourne Street.

The second incident also occurred on June 12 at around 11:00 p.m. in the area of Shelbourne Street and Kenmore Road.

Although these cases were reported to police, investigators did not find the victims in either incident.

“We believe there are two to three people that were victims of an assault or attempted assault that evening and are hoping they are able to come forward and speak to us,” said Cst. Markus Anastasiades in a statement.

“If you were the victim of either of these assaults, we understand that this might be difficult for you however, we are here to support you and will work with you through the process.”

Those who wish to come forward are asked to contact Saanich Police at 250-475-4321.
