SOOKE — Police say they are investigating the death of a man under “suspicious circumstances” on southern Vancouver Island.

A statement from the RCMP in Sooke says officers were called to a mobile home park at around 3:20 a.m. Saturday after the man’s body was found.

They say a suspect vehicle was located about an hour later by West Shore RCMP and both people inside were arrested.

The statement says the Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crime Unit has taken over the investigation with the help of West Shore and Sooke RCMP.

Investigators are looking for anyone who may have seen or have dashcam footage of a red MINI Cooper between midnight and 4 a.m. on Saturday between Sooke and the West Shore Parkway in Langford, B.C.

Anyone with information is being asked to contact police.
