The Port Moody Police Department is seeking the public’s assistance in tracking down a suspect who managed to elude a helicopter and the dog unit during a chase Wednesday night.
Tin Tin Alvin Pearly Lawrence, a 35-year-old male with numerous arrest warrants, was spotted by officers in the Heritage Mountain area at around 4:40 p.m. Despite the large police presence, the department noted that Lawrence was not an escaped convict as some had stated on social media.
“Lawrence fled on foot through several Heritage Mountain neighbourhoods,” police said in a statement Wednesday. “The regional police helicopter, Air One, and the regional integrated dog unit assisted the Port Moody Police during the search.”
Lawrence is wanted by Surrey and Langley RCMP as well as the the Integrated Auto Crime Unit on two counts of breaching a conditional sentence, break and enter and possession of stolen property under $5,000.
He is described as a Caucasian male with a dark complexion and dark brown curly hair. He is six-feet tall and weighs approximately 154 lb. (70 kg).
“The Port Moody police requests the public’s help in locating Lawrence,” the department said in the press release. “However, if he is observed do not approach him but call 911 to report the details.”
