Witnesses told police a man broke into a Duggan Road home using a machete, prompting the homeowner to flee
A special prosecutor has been appointed to oversee a Nanaimo case involving a man charged with breaking and entering, robbery, aggravated assault and motor vehicle theft in early September.
The appointment of special prosecutor Gail Barns was made to avoid any potential for “real or perceived improper influence in the administration of justice,” the prosecution service said in a statement Thursday. Nanaimo RCMP said they were told the man ran to Davies Road, where he attacked and wounded a man in his driveway before chasing the man and his wife, then demanding the keys to their car and stealing it.
