  • Masked Man Brandishing Machete Robs Nanaimo Liquor Store
Police are searching for a masked suspect armed with a machete who robbed a liquor store in Nanaimo.
 
Police say the man wearing a Halloween mask entered the store just before closing Tuesday night and made off with an undisclosed amount of cash.
