Burnaby RCMP are seeking the public’s assistance in locating James Patrick Benson, who is wanted on a B.C. and Canada-wide arrest warrant.
A B.C. warrant was issued against Benson, 34, following an alleged assault on Feb. 10. A Canada-wide warrant was subsequently issued under the Canadian Corrections and Conditional Release Act.
Benson was last seen Feb. 11 at a residence located on the 7000 block of Balmoral Street in Burnaby.
He is a two-time federal offender who was serving a long-term supervision order, which was to expire April 25, 2021.
Benson is described as Caucasian male, five-foot-10, 200 pounds, and has brown hair and brown eyes. He has tattoos with the numbers “011707” on his left wrist, the word “morbid” on his left forearm, a four-leaf clover and the words "lost soul" on his chest, and tattoos of red stars on both shoulders.
“We are pursuing numerous investigative avenues ... and have not excluded the possibility that he may have left British Columbia,” says Sgt. Annie Linteau, Lower Mainland district media relations officer. “We urge anyone to call police should they encounter Benson and use caution in their dealings with him."
Police ask anyone with information to contact Burnaby RCMP at 604-294-7922 (reference file 2015-6672) or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
