Saint John police have arrested a federal offender who was the subject of a Canada-wide warrant. Bernard Kellar, whose age was not disclosed, was taken into custody on May 26, 2026, after an investigation by the Saint John Police Force.
Background of the Case
Kellar was wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for breaching his parole conditions. The warrant was issued after he failed to comply with supervision requirements following his release from federal custody. Police had appealed to the public for information regarding his whereabouts earlier this month.
Details of the Arrest
The arrest took place without incident in Saint John, New Brunswick. Police have not released further details about the circumstances of the arrest or the specific conditions Kellar violated. He is currently in custody and will appear in court to face charges related to the breach.
Saint John police thanked the public for their assistance in locating Kellar. The investigation remains ongoing, and authorities are not seeking additional suspects at this time.
