Two prominent billboards have been erected in Winnipeg as part of a targeted campaign to locate a man featured on Canada's list of most wanted fugitives. The initiative, led by the national BOLO Program, is specifically seeking information on Tresor Horimbere.
Public Appeal for a Nationally Sought Fugitive
The billboards, which went live on January 06, 2026, represent a direct public appeal for assistance. The BOLO (Be On the LookOut) Program utilizes high-visibility advertising to amplify the search for individuals wanted on serious charges. By placing these digital wanted posters in high-traffic areas of Winnipeg, investigators hope to generate new leads from the local community and beyond.
This strategy is a cornerstone of the BOLO Program's methodology, which relies on citizen engagement to help law enforcement track down elusive suspects. The program often coordinates with police forces across the country to highlight cases where public input could be crucial.
Focus on Tresor Horimbere
The subject of this specific campaign, Tresor Horimbere, is identified as one of Canada's most wanted. While the specific charges leading to his wanted status are detailed in the BOLO Program's official bulletins, his placement on the national list indicates he is sought for serious offences. The billboards display his photograph and relevant details, providing the public with clear information on who to look for.
The visual nature of the billboards, captured by CTV News Winnipeg photographer Scott Andersson, is designed for immediate impact and recall. Authorities are urging anyone with information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, to come forward through the program's dedicated tip lines.
A Coordinated National Effort
The deployment of these billboards in Winnipeg underscores a coordinated, multi-city approach to crime-solving. The BOLO Program has successfully resolved other cases by leveraging public awareness campaigns similar to this one. By saturating a community with information, they effectively turn every citizen into a potential lookout.
This latest effort in Manitoba's capital demonstrates the ongoing commitment to using innovative, community-based strategies to enhance public safety and support the work of law enforcement agencies across Canada. The success of the campaign now hinges on the vigilance and cooperation of the public.
