BURNS LAKE—RCMP are asking for the public’s help in locating a man wanted for multiple offences.

Burns Lake RCMP say Adam Tibbetts Sr. is wanted for assault, uttering threats and multiple counts of failing to comply with probation order.

Adam Tibbetts Sr. is described:

  • Indigenous male
  • 5’9″
  • 161 lbs
  • Black Hair
  • Brown Eyes

RCMP say they have reason to believe that Tibbetts may be hiding in the Burns Lake area, and that they believe there may be people helping him avoid police.

Despite police completing extensive neighbourhood enquiries, and numerous investigational techniques, they say they have not had interaction with Tibbetts since March 2020.

Police are asking the public not to approach Tibbetts if they locate him, instead contact RCMP. Anyone with information on Tibbetts whereabouts is asked to call Burns Lake RCMP, (250) 692-7171 or Crime Stoppers 1(800)222-8477.
