Truro Police Urgently Seek Public's Aid in Locating Man Wanted on Provincial Warrant

There’s an ongoing situation in Truro, Nova Scotia, where local police are actively seeking the public’s help in locating a man with an outstanding provincial warrant. It's a reminder, I suppose, of the ongoing work our police forces do to ensure community safety. The individual they're looking for is 40-year-old Thomas Ross MacKinnon.

MacKinnon is currently wanted for failing to appear in court. This warrant stems from a couple of rather serious charges, specifically impaired operation of a conveyance and resisting arrest. These aren't minor infractions, of course, which is why the police are keen to locate him as quickly as possible and get him back before the courts.

For those who might encounter him, or perhaps have seen him around, the Truro Police Service has provided a detailed description. MacKinnon is described as being approximately 5’8” tall and weighing about 170 pounds. He has brown hair and distinctive blue eyes. It's always helpful to have these kinds of details, isn't it, especially when trying to spot someone in a crowd.

Now, while the police are certainly asking for your eyes and ears, they're also emphasizing a crucial point for everyone's safety: please do not, under any circumstances, approach Thomas Ross MacKinnon directly. It's simply not worth the risk, and it’s best left to trained professionals. Your role, if you can assist, is to provide information, not to intervene.

If you do happen to spot him, or if you have any information whatsoever regarding his whereabouts – perhaps you've heard something, or know someone who might know – the Truro Police Service urges you to get in touch right away. You can reach them directly at 902-895-5351. Alternatively, and this is often a good option for those who prefer to remain anonymous, you can contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Every little bit of information helps, truly, in situations like these.
