File # 24-22128

On the late afternoon of July 12, 2024, an employee of a local business in the 100 block of Calder Road in Nanaimo reported that a PIN entry device, known as a "PIN pad," had just been stolen. Police obtained a photo and a video of the suspects. In the video, a male unplugs the device, places the pad in his accomplice's bag, and the couple then leaves the building.

The male suspect has dark brown hair, trimmed sideburns, and a beard. He also sports a large tattoo on his left forearm and left shin. At the time of the theft, he wore black lace-up hiking boots, grey knee-length shorts, and a khaki "tentree" T-shirt.

The female suspect, who has shoulder-length black hair, wore a black, knee-length dress, black sandals, and painted fingernails and toenails.
