Nanaimo RCMP are looking for a 26-year-old man who is wanted on a Canada-wide immigration warrant for overstaying his visa in Canada.
Investigators have confirmed that Romey O’Neill was in Nanaimo on Nov. 13 when he rented a vehicle from a local car rental agency, said Nanaimo RCMP spokesman Const. Gary O’Brien. The vehicle rented, a 2020 blue Kia Forte sedan with B.C. licence plate JW690D, was never returned and has been reported as stolen.
When renting the vehicle, O’Neill was dropped off by a woman driving a white Mitsubishi Lancer.
O’Neill is associated with residences in Bowser, Quadra Island and Cortes Island. He is a white, six-foot-two, 160 pounds, and has brown hair and green eyes.
