RCMP looking for 19-year-old who removed electronic monitoring bracelet

Surrey RCMP said on Tuesday that they are seeking the public’s help in locating 19-year-old Dyllan Petrin, who they said is the subject of an arrest warrant.

According to police, Petrin faces charges related to an ongoing Surrey RCMP Serious Crimes Unit investigation involving a kidnapping and assault that occurred in July 2019. He was arrested on those charges the same month and had been held in custody until February 2020, when he was released on strict court-ordered conditions including electronic monitoring via ankle bracelet.

However, police said that on May 28, “Petrin removed his electronic monitoring bracelet and is currently at large.”
