Nanaimo RCMP are investigating a report of a man pointing a gun at a homeowner near Westwood Lake.
Police were called to the 200 block of Twiggly Wiggly Road in Nanaimo around 7 p.m. on June 4 and say officers were unable to find a suspect.
“The homeowner told police that the male was looking for a former resident, became increasingly agitated during the interaction and was told to leave,” reads a news release from RCMP. “The male then pulled a weapon resembling a handgun out of his sweater, pointed it at a resident of the home and walked away.”
According to the news release, officers were on scene with police dogs within minutes.
The suspect is described as a Caucasian male and he was wearing blue pants, a blue shirt and a light grey or beige hoody.
Police are asking anyone who has surveillance or dash cam footage in the area from 6:45 p.m. to 7:15 p.m. on June 4, to review their footage and contact RCMP and reference file number 25-16924 if they have anything that could be useful to the investigation.
