The Bolo Program (standing for Be On The Lookout) amplifies priority wanted notices that police services have already requested the public’s assistance on.
In cooperation with Canadian police services and Crime Stoppers programs, BOLO launches amplification campaigns to reach wider audiences for these notices.
This week, two BC men were added to Canada's top 25 most wanted list.
Gene Karl Lahrkamp sits second on BOLO's most wanted list and information leading to his arrest could lead to a $100,000 reward.
In the early morning of Feb. 5, 2022, the body of a man was found near a villa in Rawai Beach, Thailand. The man suffered multiple gunshot wounds.
The victim was identified as 32-year-old Jimi Sandhu; an Indian citizen, and former Canadian resident.
In Canada, Sandhu was known for his involvement with the “UN” Gang, one of the groups involved in a violent ongoing conflict in the Lower Mainland area of British Columbia. He was deported back to India in 2016 for “serious criminality”.
The Royal Thai Police investigation determined that Sandu was targeted by two Canadian gunmen who flew back to Canada in the days following the murder.
Thai authorities requested the assistance of the Canadian RCMP to locate and apprehend the two suspects.
Once INTERPOL issued red notices for both individuals, it wasn’t long after until one of the gunmen was apprehended in Alberta in Feb. 2022, but Lahrkamp is still on the run.
Lahrkamp is described as a caucasian man, standing at 6 ft. 4 in, with brown eyes and brown hair.
His last known location was in Trail, BC, and investigators believe he may still be in the province travelling with a number of dogs.
Anyone with information about his whereabouts is asked to contact the Metro Vancouver Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
John Norman MacKenzie, who also sits on Canada's most wanted list is wanted by the Mission RCMP Detachment for being unlawfully at large.
On Aug. 7, 2018, it was discovered during a headcount that inmate MacKenzie had escaped from the minimum-security unit at the Correctional Service of Canada’s Mission Institution.
He was serving a life sentence for numerous convictions, including second-degree murder and armed robbery.
MacKenzie was last seen in Mission around 7 pm on August 7, 2018, wearing jeans and a white T-shirt, he's described as a caucasian male, standing at 5 ft 9 in, with blue eyes and greying/ brown hair.
Anyone with information about his whereabouts is asked to contact the Mission RCMP Detachment at 604-826-7161.
BOLO has issued warnings, that no person should apprehend either Lahrkamp or MacKenzie alone, as they may be armed and dangerous.
