A Saanich police officer got an unexpected eyeful when he found a couple having sex in a dumpster early Friday morning.
The call to police had simply reported people walking suspiciously behind a business near the corner of Quadra Street and McKenzie Avenue around 1:45 a.m.
"When the officer was out of his car having a look around, checking doors he could hear noises coming from the dumpster," said Sgt. John Price.
The officer called out and got no response, so he pulled out his flashlight and took a look inside.
"He peeked over the edge and in the bottom of the dumpster, a man and a woman (were) full-on nude, intertwined, oblivious to his presence," Price said, confirming the pair were in the act.
The couple complied when ordered to put on their clothes and get out of the dumpster. A 26-year-old man was taken into custody by Oak Bay Police on an unrelated outstanding warrant. A 30-year-old woman was simply told to go home.
