What are B.C.’s 10-most-wanted criminals doing for Valentine’s Day? Probably trying to evade capture.
“Most of us would like to be ‘wanted’ on Valentine’s Day — but not like this,” a Crime Stoppers news release quipped Wednesday, before counting down the province’s 10-most-wanted criminals. They are:
10. Meaz Nour-Eldin, wanted for kidnapping, unlawful confinement, aggravated assault and use of a firearm.
9. Paul David Loh, wanted for forged credit cards, unlawful possession of ID documents and fraud.
8. Dyllan James Green, wanted for break-and-enter, theft, mischief and failure to attend.
7. Ryan Scott Pfeifle, wanted for assault.
6. Dusten Ryan King, who is wanted on Canada-wide warrants.
5. Jack Lincoln Kelley, also wanted on Canada-wide warrants.
4. Walton James Firth, wanted for criminal harassment.
3. Cong Dinh, wanted for money laundering.
2. John Norman Mackenzie, wanted for being unlawfully at large.
1. Conor D’Monte, wanted for murder.
Tipsters offering information that lead to the arrest of any wanted criminal may collect a reward of up to $2,000, but a partnership between Crime Stoppers and the national be-on-the-lookout program has yielded larger incentives for three of the men on this list.
The privately-administered BOLO Program is offering a $100,000 reward for information leading to D’Monte’s arrest, and $50,000 rewards for Mackenzie and Dinh.
D’Monte is wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for the 2009 murder of Red Scorpions gangster Kevin LeClair, as well as for conspiracy to murder the Bacon brothers and their associates.
“If every British Columbian were on the lookout for these 10 men, we’d have about five million extra pairs of eyes to add to those of the police,” said Linda Annis, Crime Stoppers’ executive director. “Crime Stoppers really works in finding criminals like these. Last year we received more than 5,100 anonymous crime tips in Metro Vancouver alone leading to 87 arrests, including five gang members and the recovery of $10-million worth of stolen property and illegal drugs.”
Anyone with information regarding these individuals is asked to contact Crime Stoppers anonymously.
