TORONTO – An ice cream theft in Saanich, near Victoria, B.C., has left two men sticky and facing possible charges.
Police were called to a Tim Hortons/Cold Stone Creamery on Ravine Way at about 1:30 a.m. Tuesday after two suspects were reported stealing ice cream from a freezer. An employee chased the males south on Blanshard Street.

An officer spotted the suspects, who were seen rapidly stuffing something into their mouths, on Saanich Road a short time later.
Sgt. Dean Jantzen said the officer approached the suspects but they couldn’t speak because their mouths were full and — due the rapid consumption of ice cream — they were suffering “brain freeze.”
The suspects, aged 44 and 39, were handcuffed and searched but, other than ice cream on their faces, no evidence was found.
Police said theft charges are being considered.
