A man may spend some time behind bars after an officer spotted him out and about when he wasn’t supposed to be.
On Dec. 9 at 1 a.m., officers were on routine patrol when they observed a 53-year-old male breaking a conditional sentence order – a jail sentence served in the community – for a fraud conviction with a curfew of 10 p.m. to 8 a.m., according to an Oak Bay police news release.
The information was forwarded to the man’s probation officer and if a judge is convinced the offender broke one or more of the conditions, the remaining time could be served in jail.
