Police seeking suspect who stole 11-year-old’s bracelets from display stand

Police are asking the public for help identifying a suspect who stole handmade jewelry from a child in Langford last week.

West Shore RCMP says the theft happened on Wednesday, July 17, around 3:30 p.m. from the front porch of a house along Lakehurst Drive.

Mounties say that the suspect stole around 40 bracelets from a display stand left out on the porch.

They say these bracelets were handmade by an 11-year-old girl who was selling them outside her residence with a collection on display. When the girl and her parent went inside their home for a few minutes and came back out, a majority of the bracelets were missing.

“The handmade bracelets featured gemstones and charms that were priced at $15 a piece. Approximately 40 bracelets were stolen totalling $600 in value,” Mounties said.
