Warrant issued for Convicted Poppy Donation Thief

Jul 8, 2016 | 12:24 PM

A man convicted of stealing poppy donation tins in Nanaimo is a wanted man once more.

49 year old Anthony Britt was arrested and charged last November for stealing poppy donation tins from several Nanaimo businesses, and now police are looking for him again.

He was sentenced to five months behind bars, but police say he breached his parole conditions and a warrant has been issued.

Britt is white, 5’10, 150 pounds with brown hair and green eyes. If you have any information, call Nanaimo RCMP or Crime Stoppers.
