A prolific offender has been arrested and charged after police searched a home in Saanich and found more than 100 pieces of personal identification believed to have been stolen from vehicles throughout Greater Victoria.
Saanich police began investigating a string of thefts from vehicles in January. Evidence obtained during the investigations eventually led officers to a residence in the 1500-block of North Dairy Road.
Investigators suspect some of the bank cards were used to make fraudulent purchases in the Greater Victoria area. Airaksinen was already serving a conditional sentence for fraud, possessing stolen property and breaching an undertaking when he was arrested, according to court records. "The suspect was well-known to police for similar offences over the years," Saanich police spokesperson Const. Markus Anastasiades said.
