Beach romance gets awkward for families

Couple in their 40s spotted groping each other at Island View Beach in Central Saanich

A beach-goer enjoying the day at Island View called police at 3:30 p.m. on July 28 to say there was an intoxicated couple on the beach groping each other and that families at the beach that afternoon were uncomfortable.

When police attended the beach, they found a 49-year-old man and a 44-year-old woman with open liquor.

The two North Saanich residents were issued tickets for consuming liquor in public and were sent home in a taxi.
