Seven youths are facing criminal charges after allegedly assaulting another youth.

On July 3, 2025, Sooke RCMP was contacted by family of a youth who had allegedly been severely assaulted by a group of teens near the 6660 block of Goodmere Rd in Sooke in the evening of July 2, 2025. The victim required medical care as a result. The assault was also filmed and shared on social media. Investigators gathered evidence which led to the identification of seven youth who participated in the assault. Warrants for their arrests were obtained.

All youth suspects have since been located and arrested.

“We are aware of concerns from parents regarding the arrest of one youth near school grounds” said Staff Sergeant Greg Willcocks, detachment commander for Sooke RCMP. “We are taking the allegations of this assault very seriously”.

As the youth suspects are protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, no further details can be provided.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Sooke RCMP at 250-642-5241.
