Police are hoping to identify a suspect who allegedly stole a child’s bicycle and other merchandise from the Walmart in Nanaimo earlier this week.

In a press release, Nanaimo RCMP asked for the public’s help in identifying a man who was said to have entered the store at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 5, and was seen exiting through a side door with several items, including a box that contained the bike. He was seen driving away in a black Dodge Ram pickup truck.

Based on closed-circuit TV footage, police says the man appears to be in his mid 30s, 5-foot-10 with a medium build and beard.

Anyone with information is asked to call Nanaimo RCMP at 250-754-2345, citing file No. 2023-42142.
