A Nanaimo man got a nasty surprise when he opened his front door last night, in the 600 block of 4th street.
Nanaimo RCMP Constable Gary O’Brien says the 26-year-old was sprayed in the face with bear spray by a man he didn’t recognize.
O’Brien says they have a vague description of the suspect. He was white, 5 foot 10, with a slim build, short brown hair and a gray shirt.
O’Brien says the suspect may have been driving a small two-door black car with black rims, that was seen turning into an alley between Hillcrest Avenue and Lambert Avenue.
If you have any information, call Nanaimo RCMP at 250-754-2345 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.
