Nanaimo RCMP wonder if ‘bad karma’ is coming for Buddha thief

Statuette stolen from Commercial Street business earlier this week

Nanaimo RCMP recommend rubbing Buddha’s belly “to your heart’s content,” provided you’ve paid for the merchandise.

According to a police press release, a Buddha statuette was stolen from Red Shelf Décor on Commercial Street the afternoon of Oct. 4. The suspect was described as a woman with long, dark brown hair who uses a walker.

“Maybe someone should tell this lady about messing with a Buddha and bad karma,” the press release noted.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Nanaimo RCMP’s non-emergency line at 250-754-2345 and quote file No. 2020-36536.
