Deputy Chief Ray Bernoties says police received a report from an Oak Bay liquor store employee on Dec. 11 around 11 a.m. about a man stealing alcohol.
Surveillance footage showed an unidentified man take two bottles of tequila, conceal them in his pants and leave the store without paying. The tequila was valued at about $76.
The liquor store employee told police they had caught the man stealing before. That time, the suspect handed back the stolen booze.
Anyone with information can call Oak Bay Police Department at 250-592-2424.
