Nanaimo RCMP are looking for a man suspected of stealing poppy donations.
The first theft occurred at the 7-11 at 1602 Bowen Road early Tuesday morning. The theft wasn't noticed until a Veteran Affairs representative came to replace the donation tin. After reviewing surveillance video the store clerk realized a crime had happened.
At 3 p.m. Tuesday, a donation tin was stolen from the Beaufort Centre Pharmasave.
Police believe the same individual is responsible for both thefts.
Local businesses are reminded to keep a close watch on donation tins and boxes. Securing them to the counter with a chain or cord is recommended.
If you have information on the thefts contact Nanaimo RCMP at 250-754-2345 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
