VICTORIA A retired Saanich police officer, who was injured in a bizarre 1982 incident in which a man he was pursuing detonated a bomb inside his car, has died. Walter Craveiro died Tuesday at Victoria General Hospital. Nico Craveiro says his father rarely spoke about the decades-old incident that left the Saanich officer with lingering post-traumatic stress disorder. “It was something that was very traumatizing for him,” Nico told CTV News on Friday. Walter, then a 35-year-old constable with the Saanich Police Department, lost an eye and lost his sense of taste and smell when a suspect he was pursuing blew himself up in his car.
