For one of this year’s most wanted, Rabih Alkhalil, Crime Stoppers has partnered with the national BOLO (Be On the Look Out) Program to offer an enhanced reward of up to $250,000.
“Simply stated, tips to Crime Stoppers work. We receive 5,000 anonymous tips a year for all kinds of crimes including gang and illegal weapons offences, and for criminals on the loose like our most wanted,” said Linda Annis, Executive Director of Metro Vancouver Crime Stoppers.
“With five million pairs of eyes around the province, someone should eventually spot one or more of them.”
Alkhalil, who escaped from a B.C. prison this summer, is wanted for murder, conspiracy to commit murder and being unlawfully at large.
Amardip Singh Rai is wanted for sexual assault, assault with a weapon and 15 other charges.
