Metro Vancouver Crime Stoppers has released its annual list of the 㽶Ƶֱleast-wanted Valentines㽶Ƶֱ for 2021.
For these 10 㽶Ƶֱmost wanted fugitives㽶Ƶֱ in B.C., rewards of up to $100,000 are offered.
㽶ƵֱThey could be far away, or in your neighbourhood,㽶Ƶֱ the crime-fighting organization said in a news release Monday (Feb. 8), following a media event held outside Surrey Pretrial Services Centre.
People who know the whereabouts of these individuals can send anonymous tips to Crime Stoppers via phone (1-855-448-8477, 1-800-222- 8477) or online (). There㽶Ƶֱs also a downloadable 㽶ƵֱP3㽶Ƶֱ app for and phones.
㽶ƵֱSome of these fugitives have been missing a year or even longer, and with four million pairs of eyes around the province, someone should eventually spot one of them,㽶Ƶֱ said Linda Annis, executive director of Metro Vancouver Crime Stoppers.
㽶ƵֱTips work. We received more than 5,000 anonymous tips in 2020 leading to 72 arrests and 135 charges laid. Twenty-one of those arrests came from tips specifically about gang or illegal gun activity.㽶Ƶֱ
Tips to Crime Stoppers that lead to the arrest and charge of any wanted criminal can lead to a reward of up to $5,000.
For three of this year㽶Ƶֱs most wanted, Crime Stoppers has partnered with the national BOLO (Be On the Look Out) Program to make available extra large rewards of $50,000 to $100,000. The three are Conor D㽶ƵֱMonte (wanted for murder), John Norman Mackenzie (wanted for being unlawfully at large) and Cong Dinh (wanted for money laundering).
