RCMP Seek Second Male In Vicious Assault


Nanaimo RCMP have made one arrest and are currently searching for a second male after a vicious crow bar attack on a male at a local motel early Saturday morning.

At approximately 6:42 AM two men kicked open the door to a room occupied by a male and female at the Value Lodge motel, located at 736 Nicol St . Once inside, the suspects proceeded to strike the male ,age 34, with a crow bar then kick and punch him repeatedly. A female in the room,age 45, was able to escape uninjured. Her screams were heard by others and nearby guests called 911. About three minutes later the two suspects were seen running from the room and were last seen going south bound along an alley way running behind the motel.

The victim was transported to local hospital where he was treated for multiple lacerations and a broken nose. He was held for observation and later released .

Video surveillance was obtained and was useful in identifying at least one of the males involved. On Sunday evening at approximately 7 PM, an 18 year old Nanaimo man was arrested without incident at his residence in the 100 block of Fifth St. He was transported to cells and later released from custody on a Promise to Appear. Charges of Aggravated Assault and Break and Enter are being recommended by police. The 18 year old is scheduled to make his first court appearance on Dec. 7.

“This was a vicious targeted attack that could have resulted in serious long term injury or death. Our investigators are currently attempting to figure out why he was singled out. The victim has spoken with police but to date has not provided anything useful that could assist in furthering the investigation,”said Constable Gary O’Brien, media spokesperson for the Nanaimo RCMP.

The second male involved and shown above, is Caucasian, between 20-23 years old , 5 ft 10 and with a thin build. He was seen wearing a blue fleece jacket, blue jeans ,blue baseball hat and black gloves. 

Anyone with information on this male is asked to contact the Nanaimo RCMP at 250-754-2345 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or go online at www.nanaimocrimestoppers.ca
