Nanaimo RCMP hunting for person of interest in convenience store robbery
NANAIMO — A popular mid-Nanaimo convenience store is without a cash register after a break-in.
Police responded to a broken glass alarm at the Ice Nail Bar, formerly known as the Macs Convenience on the corner of Departure Bay Rd. and Norwell Dr., shortly before 1:30 a.m. on Tuesday, May 28.
“By the time we got there the bad guy had taken off,” RCMP Cst. Gary O’Brien said. “Fortunately, someone saw an individual trying to smash open a cash register nearby.”
