Nanaimo RCMP say they are looking for a person of interest in a break-and-enter at the Ice Nail Bar on Departure Bay Road on Tuesday.
Police said the break-in took place at around 1:20 a.m. on May 28 at the salon, which is adjacent to the Circle K, formerly known as the Macs Convenience store, and located at the corner of Departure Bay Road and Norwell Drive. The only item taken was a cash register and its contents.
When officers were responding to the break-in, police received a second call about a man attempting to smash open a cash register in a parking lot at 3185 Barons Road, a short distance from the break-and-enter. The man was gone when officers got to the parking lot but they found the remains of the broken cash register were found scattered throughout the parking lot.
After speaking with potential witnesses and reviewing video surveillance, police said they determined the man seen smashing the cash register might have been in the Ice Nail Bar earlier in the evening. The man is described as Caucasian, 5’9,” medium build with short hair.
Anyone with information is asked to call Nanaimo RCMP at 250-754-2345 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
