The East Region Community Street Crime Unit of the OPP are asking for help finding a person they want to arrest.
They’ve been investigating several crimes like break-ins and stealing cars in the East Region. On October 10, 2023, they found a stolen car and caught one person but two others ran away. With special help from the East Region Emergency Response Team, they caught one of those people. Now, they need help finding the third person.
The person they’re looking for is 29-years-old Tanner Sweet, around 185 pounds, about 6 feet 3 inches tall, with a slim build, brown hair, brown eyes, and a neck tattoo that says “SWEET.”
Tanner Sweet has a warrant for their arrest for more than two dozen offences, including:
- Careless storage of a firearm
- Possession of a firearm contrary to a prohibition order
- Knowledge of unauthorized possession of a weapon
- Operation while prohibited under the Criminal Code
- Possession of a Schedule 1 substance for the purpose of trafficking-cocaine
- Possession of property obtained by crime
- Fail to comply with a probation order
The police are warning people not to approach Tanner Sweet. Instead, they’re asking Sweet to contact the local police and talk to officers.
If you see this person or know where they are, contact the police right away. If you want to stay anonymous, you can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
