Police say when the party-goers saw the officers, they started to run out the back door. When police went to talk to the host, they pointed out the house was empty denied any party took place.
“The host was likely unaware that police had arrived and witnessed the party long before they all scattered out the back door,” Cst. Markus Anastasiades with Saanich Police said.
The host was given a $2,300 fine for breaking public health rules.
