Victoria Police have made an arrest in connection with a home invasion and vehicle fire.
It happened in the 2900 block of Washington Avenue February 6th.
Police say they arrested and released the suspect on several conditions and are seeking a second suspect.
Officers were first called to Topaz Avenue for a report of a home invasion. They found two residents had suffered non-life-threatening injuries and the suspects had fled.
A short time later, police were called to Washington Avenue for a report of a car fire. They say the vehicle had been stolen earlier in the week and had been used during the home invasion and burned. Investigators from the Vic-PD Major Crime Detective Division worked to identify two suspects and were able to make an arrest.
A second suspect is still outstanding.
Investigators are still looking for additional witnesses to come forward.
