40-year-old Staeton Kevin Grant.
Police are looking to the public for information in connection with an illegal immigrant that entered into Canada by the Boissevain Port of Entry this past weekend.
On April 14, 2012, shortly after 8pm, Killarney RCMP were dispatched to Highway 10, south of Boissevain, to a report of a male individual who was believed to have entered Canada illegally by the Boissevain Port of Entry. The individual in question had been observed riding a bicycle on the US side of the border and had later reportedly been observed on the Canadian side raising suspicions.
CBSA Customs officer confirmed the individual had not reported at the border. As such, officers patrolled the area and located the male subject in Boissevain. He was identified as 40-year-old Staeton Kevin Grant. When responding officers attempted to arrest Grant, he fled on foot, leaving his bicycle and backpack behind.
Despite RCMP efforts to locate the man, Grant was able to elude officers.
Staeton Kevin Grant is described as being black. He was last seen wearing a grey jacket and dark pants. He is Jamaican.
It is believed that Grant may be heading to Winnipeg.
A Canada wide warrant for the arrest of Staeton Kevin Grant has been issued and anyone with information is asked to contact the RCMP or their local law enforcement agency.
