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.

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”.
