Victoria, BC – Officers are asking for your help as we work with the wider Greater Victoria Community to find a bike stolen from a nurse while she was administering COVID-19 vaccines.

The victim reported that her bicycle was stolen yesterday while she was working in the 700-block of Douglas Street at the Victoria Conference Centre administering COVID-19 vaccines.

Her bicycle is described as a grey Trek road bike with distinctive yellow stripes. Her bike has new bar tape, an adjustable MEC stem, an anatomy-friendly padded seat and flip-flop pedals with a clip-in one side and flat on the other side. The bike has 700x23c tires with Presta valves and one with a brass Schrader adapter, disc brakes, as well as fenders, a water bottle cage, and disc brakes. She reports that her brakes squeak, which is unusual for disc brakes.

This week is also National Nurses Week, recognizing the incredible selfless contributions of nurses both every day and during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Media partners have also been notified about her stolen bike and are widely sharing the description.
