Victoria Police have issued another warning after a woman was pricked by a needle Monday morning.
The woman said she was stuck by a needle while gardening.
Police said the needle seemed to have been deliberately placed in a planter. The woman told officers the same thing had happened a week ago, when another needle pricked her while gardening.
The woman said the incident took place in the 700-block of Johnson Street.

This is the third time an incident like this has been reported in the downtown Victoria area since the beginning of the year.
Just last week a three-year-old was stuck by a needle and days later a woman walking her dog was pricked after picking up a paper bag.
Police are asking anyone with information to contact them or call Greater Victoria Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
