    Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 11 Nov, 2015 11:47 AM
      NANAIMO, B.C. — Police in Nanaimo, B.C., say they have arrested a man who is accused of stealing poppy donations in four separate thefts.
       
      RCMP say a 49-year-old man was arrested last Thursday after police received two reports of money being taken from poppy donations.
       
      Investigators recommended the man be charged with two counts of theft under $5,000 and he was released on a promise to appear again in court.
       
      Mounties say the same man is alleged to have stolen more poppy donations from Home Hardware and Patties Party Palace within 24 hours of being released.
       
      He turned himself into police Tuesday morning.
       
      Police say investigators will recommend at a bail hearing that the man remain in custody.
