West Shore RCMP is asking for people’s help identifying a man they believe was trying to sell drugs to youth on a B.C. Transit bus.

On Sept. 19, at approximately 7:50 p.m., two youth were approached by a man while waiting at the Langford bus exchange on Station Avenue.

The man began talking to the youth about buying drugs from him, before both he and the two youth got onto the same bus. They parted ways a few stops later.

Police describe the suspect as a Caucasian, 5’11” and in his 30s, standing. Security photos from the bus show him wearing a hoodie, baseball cap and dark pants.

Since the incident more than a month ago, police say they have followed up on several leads but have been unable to identify the man.

Anyone with information can contact the West Shore RCMP at 250-474-2264 or report anonymously through Crime Stoppers Greater Victoria at 1-800-222-8477.
