Victoria Police Department and Greater Victoria Emergency Response Team arrested a man Oct. 15 in the 900-block of Pandora Avenue and seized fentanyl, weapons, and cash after an investigation that started in early October. Officers used a loud distraction device during the arrest over concerns the man was in possession of weapons. Officers searched the man following the arrest and seized a can of bear spray.
