Nanaimo RCMP still looking for 58-year-old wanted man

Nanaimo RCMP have renewed an appeal to the public for information on the whereabouts of 58-year-old Dereck Paul who is wanted in connection with an alleged break and enter. 

Police first reached out to the public for information on Paul on December 29th, 2025. 

Paul is wanted on one count of break and enter for an alleged incident at a local car dealership on Kenworth Road in late July 2025.

At the time of the break and enter, Nanaimo RCMP responded to a glass break alarm at the business, where they located Paul and arrested him.

The accused was later released on conditions, but failed to appear at his court date. 

As of this publication, his current whereabouts are unknown, so police have renewed their plea for assistance.

Paul is described by police as an Indigenous man, standing 5’5” tall, weighing around 180 pounds, with black/grey hair and brown eyes. 

Anyone who has information on the whereabouts of Dereck Paul should call the Nanaimo RCMP non-emergency line at (250) 754-2345.
