Metro Vancouver Crime Stoppers has unveiled its annual lineup of five fugitives that local law enforcement authorities are aiming to apprehend before Valentine’s Day.
According to Linda Annis, the executive director of this non-profit organization, the involvement of the public plays a crucial role in aiding police efforts.
Annis mentioned, “Information provided to Crime Stoppers leading to the capture and conviction of these wanted individuals could result in a reward of up to $5,000.”
She emphasized the anonymity of tipsters contacting Crime Stoppers, assuring that police won’t return calls, request testimony, or engage in questioning.
Annis urged, “There are individuals out there who possess information on the whereabouts of these fugitives, and we urge them to reach out to Crime Stoppers anonymously.”
The five suspects are wanted for a range of offenses, including sexual assault and drug trafficking violations.
In the previous year, Metro Vancouver Crime Stoppers received a total of 5,490 tips, contributing to the apprehension of 15 suspects.
Furthermore, authorities seized 32 illegal weapons and over $3 million worth of illicit drugs and property.
