Nanaimo RCMP search for violent offender 

Nanaimo RCMP are asking for the public’s help finding a man charged in connection with an assault on a bylaw officer earlier this year. 

Eric Kivell, 25, missed a court appearance in Nanaimo and there is now a warrant out for his arrest, according to a press release from RCMP 

He is facing charges of assault with a weapon and uttering threats related to an incident in February where a bylaw officer was assaulted at an encampment. 

Police say he is an Indigenous man, 5 foot 11 inches, 160 pounds with black hair and brown eyes and the picture provided is recent. 

“Kivell should be considered violent and unpredictable,” the press release says. 

Anyone who has information that could help find him is asked to call the Nanaimo RCMP’s non-emergency line at 250-754-2345.
