Nanaimo RCMP are investigating theft of a Royal Canadian Legion Poppy campaign donation box.
Police say a woman was seen on security footage at Panago Pizza at 560 Island Highway North on Nov. 8 around 10 p.m., putting the box in her purse and leaving 
with it.
“It is disheartening to learn of these thefts given that they are intended to support Canadian veterans and their families,” said Inspector Donovan Tait, operations officer with Nanaimo RCMP.
The woman is described as Caucasian with long blonde hair. She was wearing a black and white toque and carried a red purse.
Police are asking anyone who recognizes the woman to call the Nanaimo RCMP non-emergency line.
