I would expect an arrest within the week on this one.

And the suspect back on the street within 24 hours of that.

Parents Alerted After Report Of Attempted Child-Luring

 

 

Date: Friday, November 12, 2021 - File: #21-45496

 

Victoria, BC – Patrol officers are alerting parents after a report of an attempted luring of an 11-year-old child from Topaz Park this afternoon.

 

Patrol officers learned that the child was playing on the Finlayson turf of Topaz Park just after 2 p.m. this afternoon when they were approached by a woman who offered the child money and then a Bible to get into her car.

 

The child refused and told a trusted adult. The woman left the area prior to the child disclosing what had occurred.

 

The woman is described as a Caucasian woman, approximately 60 to 70-years old, with a slim build and shoulder-length grey hair. She wore glasses and a grey or black pull over sweater, grey or black pants and was carrying a red book. She was last seen in a silver sedan.

 

Officers are hoping to identify and speak with the woman to learn more about what occurred.

 

If you have information about this incident please call the VicPD Report Desk at (250) 995-7654 extension 1. To report what you know anonymously, please call Greater Victoria Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

B.C. mom frustrated no one has been charged in biker son's murder

Police says investigations involving gang murders are exceptionally complicated

Mike Widner, the slain Hels Angels prospect, from the Facebook memorial page dedicated to him. 

When Reta Acorn didn’t get an expected call from her son Mike Widner in early March 2017, she knew instantly that something was wrong.

He always phoned his mom at her Sooke home while he was staying with his young family in Shawnigan Lake, Acorn said recently.

She called her son’s common-law spouse Sara, who told her Mike hadn’t shown up as expected the night before.

Acorn sent a friend to a Sooke park where Mike was supposed to meet one of his business partner in a legal medical marijuana growing operation about 9 p.m. the day he vanished. The friend called her to say her son’s car was abandoned in the park.

“What do you mean Mike’s car is there?” she asked. “He says, ‘It’s parked. It’s sitting right there.’ And so I phoned Sara back and I said his car is at the park. But it’s locked. And he’s not in it.”

“So then I knew. Intuition told me then that something happened to him.”

Mike Widner, who would go on to be a major drug dealer and Hells Angels prospect before being murdered, was a junior hockey player as a teenager.

 

Some 200 members of the Hells Angels took part in a memorial ride for slain prospect Mike Widner of Sooke on Saturday, April 1, 2017.

Saw someone who looked like him walking down Fort St yesterday (although this guy was heavier). Was yelling at people who passed by to "suck his c^&k" and those who ignored him he threatened to stab in the throat. I figured it was pretty much a day in the life until I noticed some young family cowering as he walked by (they must be visitors). I was helpful though, I told them that they didn't need to pay mind to the crazies until they started throwing stuff and then you needed to run!

A man called into CFAX yesterday to saw a man unsheathed a machete in front of him and his girlfriend as they walked down the street.

'Unsheathed his machete'!  Now, that's a new euphemism for exposing oneself!

oh yes the stereotypical 60-70 year old female child predator.  that uses a bible to lure.  

How do you know it was really a woman. Similar description of the vehicle used days earlier in a luring attempt.

Easy to fool a child with a wig and clothes.  

Old woman ,bible and candy I’d lay money on that it was the same guy a few days earlier .
