Burnaby RCMP officers are seeking the public’s assistance in locating James Patrick Benson, who is wanted on a B.C. and Canada-wide arrest warrant.
Benson, 34, is wanted for an alleged assault that occurred on Feb. 10. His whereabouts are currently unknown.
Benson was last seen on the morning of Feb. 11, 2015 at a residence located in 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 on April 25, 2021.
Benson is described as Caucasian, 5’10” and 200 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. He has a tattoo with the numbers “011707” on his left wrist, a tattoo of the word “morbid” on his left forearm, a tattoo of 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 in an effort to locate Benson and have not excluded the possibility that he may have left British Columbia,” Sgt. Annie Linteau of the Lower Mainland District said in a press release. “We urge anyone to call police should they encounter James Benson and use caution in their dealings with him”.
Police are asking anyone who may have any information on his whereabouts to contact Burnaby RCMP at (604) 294-7922 (reference file 2015-6672), their local police department or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
