Manhunt Underway: Lawrencetown Resident Sought by RCMP on Provincewide Warrant

There's an active search underway across Nova Scotia, as authorities are seeking the public's help to locate a Lawrencetown man wanted on a significant provincewide arrest warrant. The RCMP Halifax Regional Detachment has put out the call for 47-year-old Jeffrey Wayne Grant, and it seems they really need folks to keep an eye out.

Mr. Grant is facing a rather extensive list of charges, painting a picture of some very serious alleged incidents. We're talking multiple counts here: two for impaired driving, two for dangerous operation of a conveyance (that's a vehicle, for those wondering), and another two for refusing to comply with a demand from officers. On top of that, he's also looking at two counts of flight from police, two for driving while disqualified, and, quite troubling, two counts of assaulting a peace officer. The list doesn't stop there, either; there are four counts of resisting arrest and four counts of failing to comply with a release order, suggesting previous encounters with the law. He's also charged with possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000 and two counts of trespassing at night. It's certainly a lengthy rap sheet.

For anyone who might spot him, the RCMP has provided a clear description: Jeffrey Wayne Grant stands about five-foot-seven, weighs approximately 135 pounds, and has black hair and brown eyes. It’s important, of course, that if you do see someone matching his description, you don't approach him. Police advise that he should not be confronted, for your own safety and theirs.

Instead, if you have any information at all that could help locate Jeffrey Wayne Grant, please get in touch with the RCMP Halifax Regional Detachment directly at 902-490-5020. Alternatively, you can always contact your local police detachment. For those who prefer to remain anonymous, Nova Scotia Crime Stoppers is a great option, reachable at 1-800-222-8477. Every little bit of information truly helps in situations like this.
