Multiple vehicles were smashed and a basement intentionally flooded along lower Cook Street this week.

Also Tuesday, police received a report that the basement of a multi-unit residential building in the same block was intentionally flooded overnight after someone placed a running hose in a staircase leading into the basement and plugged the outdoor drains with paper.

Investigators are asking anyone else who experienced a similar incident in the 100-block of Cook Street to report it to the Victoria Police Department.

Anyone with information or surveillance footage can contact the VicPD report desk at 250-995-7654, extension 1, or report anonymously to Greater Victoria Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
