BURLINGTON, ON
The Halton Regional Police are looking for a fugitive who has skipped bail three times – when they catch him – and they will – does a Judge give him bail again? Probably because it costs too much to keep these people in a jail
On week 18 of the Fugitive Friday program the police are looking for Matthew PARSONS
Matthew Parsons – skipped out on his bail three times – police want him in custody.
Each Friday the police ask the public for help finding people who have chosen to evade the police and the court system and continue to live out in our communities while having a warrant for their arrest in place.
The police share “Fugitive Friday” information on their website and through social media – Twitter @HRPSBurl and @HaltonPolice.
The 3 District, Burlington Offender Management Unit is searching for Matthew PARSONS, 30 years old, of Burlington, ON.
It is alleged:
– In November of 2014 the accused attempted to steal various items from a store in Burlington
– The accused was stopped by store security outside when he attempted to flee with the stolen items
– The accused was detained until police arrived and continued the arrest
– During the arrest the accused was found to be in possession of Crystal Methamphetamines
– The accused failed to attend court in February and was arrested again and held for bail
– The accused was later released on a Recognizance and was to attend court in July, which he failed to do and a warrant was issued for his arrest
He is now wanted by Halton Regional Police Service for:
Theft under $5000 x 2
Possession of Schedule III x 2
Fail to Re-Attend Court
