Warrants issued for Nanaimo man

Nanaimo, Wanted Warrant

2025-05-26 14:18 PDT

File # 2025-2368

Wanted person Eric Kivell

The Nanaimo RCMP is asking for the public’s assistance in locating 25-year old Eric Kivell, wanted for Assault with a Weapon, Uttering Threats and Breach of an Undertaking.

Kivell recently missed a court appearance in Nanaimo Provincial Court and therefore warrants were issued for his arrest. The charges against Kivell stem from several incidents. The most recent being in January of 2025 where it is alleged he assaulted a City of Nanaimo bylaw officer with a pole while the officer was attending to a homeless encampment. During this interaction, it is also alleged that Kivell uttered threats.

Kivell is an Indigenous man, 5 foot 11 inches, 160 pounds with black hair and brown eyes. The picture provided is recent. Kivell should be considered violent and unpredictable. If anyone knows the whereabouts of Eric Kivell, please call the Nanaimo RCMP non-emergency line at 250-754-2345.
