Saanich police say three people were arrested on Wednesday for allegedly using cap guns in a dangerous manner during several incidents.
Around 3:20 p.m., police received a call from someone who said they were walking in the 4600-block of Elk Lake Drive when a van pulled up beside them and someone inside the van "pointed and fired a gun directly at them."
The calls brought a significant police presence to the area. Then, at around 3:40 p.m., police say they received another call from an earlier witnesses saying that they saw the same three men wearing balaclavas near the Saanich Fire Hall on Royal Oak Drive. Elk Lake Drive was briefly closed to traffic as police investigated the scene and arranged for the van to be towed."Due to the nature of the call, there was a very heavy police response in that area that caused some traffic disruptions and likely raised some questions," said Const. Markus Anastasiades of the Saanich Police Department.
