News reports circulated this weekend about $10,000 in gas-powered landscaping equipment being stolen from Camosun\u2019s Lansdowne campus on Saturday. However, Camosun has confirmed to Nexus<\/em>\u00a0that the thefts actually happened on Labour Day Weekend.<\/p>\n

The equipment was stolen from a storage building in the main parking lot off Foul Bay Road.<\/p>\n

Camosun executive director of communications and marketing Rodney Porter says Crime Stoppers reported the wrong date this past weekend (Nexus<\/em>\u00a0is waiting to hear back from Saanich Police to confirm the exact date the theft occurred on). Porter says several hand-powered landscaping tools with a value of just under $10,000 were taken.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis included things like chainsaws, trimmers, and blowers,\u201d says Porter. (Camosun\u2019s Facilities department has not responded to requests for comment.)<\/p>\n

Porter says Camosun reported the theft to Saanich Police and they\u2019re investigating.<\/p>\n

The vehicle was a black Dodge Dually truck, as can be seen in the photos here.<\/p>\n

Anyone who recognizes the truck can contact Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477, quoting file number SPD 19-21887.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
