A 38-year-old man in Langford had his dreams of making the Olympic gymnastics team come crashing down during an arrest attempt this week. The incident unfolded at around 5:40pm on Tuesday, 9 July 2024, when officers entered the man’s Langford home with an arrest warrant. The man, determined to evade capture, made a bold move by climbing out of a bedroom window and into the backyard. In a desperate attempt to flee, he used a trampoline to propel himself over the neighbouring fence. However, his efforts were in vain as pursuing police quickly caught up with him. The man now faces several charges, including one count of ‘Criminal Damage’ for destroying two fence panels in his escape bid.

The victim received multiple phone calls between 26 and 27 June 2024 from a man claiming to be investigating scammers trying to hack her bank accounts.
