The High-Risk Enforcement Action Team (HEAT) of the Integrated Criminal Investigation Division is responsible for executing warrants within the Halifax Regional Municipality as well as other areas, and facilitates requests for locating people from other agencies.
Wanted Wednesday
Every week, HEAT selects three people with outstanding warrants whom police have been unable to locate. Each Wednesday, their photos and details related to their outstanding warrants will be shared online. Whether these people turn themselves in, or police receive information on their whereabouts from the public, the goal is to locate and arrest each person who has been featured.
If a person turns themselves in or is located by police, their photo and information will be removed from this page and any other online site belonging to Halifax Regional Police.
What should I do if I see someone from the Wanted Wednesday List?
Do not approach them.
If you see or have information regarding the people profiled as part of Wanted Wednesday, contact police at 902.490.5016 (Halifax Regional Police) or 902. 244.7208 (Halifax District RCMP). Anonymous tips can be sent to Crime Stoppers by calling toll-free 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or submitting a secure web tip.
Wanted Wednesday list
Halifax Regional Police is providing the following photos and information to the public in order to assist police in locating these individuals.
This list will be updated each Wednesday and when a person has been located. You can also stay tuned to the Halifax Regional Police Facebook or Twitter accounts, RCMP Facebook or Twitter accounts, or #WantedWednesdayHfx
