A thief allegedly broke into an optical store in Harewood and stole more than two dozen pairs of sunglasses.
The theft happened at 1:20 a.m. Monday at Diamond Eyes Optical on Fifth Street, according to a Nanaimo RCMP press release.
The theft was reported later that morning when the store manager arrived at work and discovered the crime.
