Victoria police arrested a suspect related to video captured on a security camera earlier this month.
The images showed someone taking a cashbox from a Fort Street business.
The suspect in the case was arrested after a West Shore RCMP officer and a community member recognized him from the video and reached out to investigators.
Victoria police released video after the break and enter to the business in the 700-block of Fort Street was reported on March 11. The business owner found the front door damaged and the cashbox missing — but it was located a short distance away — when they arrived that day.
