Break-in done for booze

Demands for a fresh supply of party beer prompted an early
momuing break-in of the Brentwood liquor store January 25, Judge
Brian Mackenzie heard in Sidney provincial court April 11.

Terry Donald Mitchell, 18, of Courtenay, pleaded guilty to
breaking and entering.

Crown counsel Edward Ormheim said Central Saanich police
responded to an alarm at the liquor store at 1:05 a.m. and found the
front window of the store smashed, blood on the ground and cans
of beer scattered around.

Police spotted a figure lying in a field off Wallace Drive but the
person ran away before being apprehended. A gym bag marked
with blood and bearing the suspect’s name was found in the field,
Ormheim said.

Police notified Saanich Peninsula Hospital that a suspect may be:
seeking treatment and at 1:30 a.m. the hospital advised police that
lineal Mitchell had come to emergency for treatment, the court heard.

After being treated, Mitchell was interviewed by police and
admitted participating in the break-in with another person.
Ormheim noted Mitchell has no previous criminal record:

Defence lawyer Grant Warrington said Mitchell had been at a
party with friends and had helped consume a 26-ounce bottle of
alcohol before attempting the theft.

He and another person at the party were both intoxicated when
they agreed to break into the liquor store at the urging of other
party-goers who wanted more alcohol, Warrington said.
