A Vancouver Island woman says she feels unsafe and is full of questions after police warned her that her address was contained in a notebook that was lost by a Victoria police officer in late December.
On Thursday, VicPD said that an officer had lost their notebook for a five-day period in December, and that the notebook's contents were copied and "circulated among the criminal element of Greater Victoria."
The police department also said there was no indication that people whose information was in the notebook should be concerned about additional criminal activity. The woman says she called the VicPD non-emergency line again on Friday to see if there were further details they could share on her situation.
She adds that not everyone whose names or address were in the notebook – roughly 60 names and 50 addresses, according to VicPD – may have friends they are able to stay with. "So that really scared me. Why am I a priority? What do I have to be a priority for? What's going to happen to me that I'm going to be a priority?" she said.
