Two suspects wanted in connection with a shooting in Sooke last Tuesday night have now been arrested.
RCMP say Josh LaFleur and another man were found hiding in a crawl space in a home on Kirby Road in Sooke on Sunday night.
They are expected to appear in court today.
Last Friday morning, RCMP launched a manhunt after two suspects fled into the woods around Thetis Lake. The area was on lockdown as an emergency response team, K-9 unit and police helicopter investigated. After several hours, police called off the official search.
One man connected with the shooting last week had already been arrested.
