Details of the Warrant
Authorities have released a photograph of Johnston and are urging anyone with information about his whereabouts to come forward immediately.

This development highlights ongoing efforts by Canadian police forces to apprehend individuals facing significant legal allegations. The Saint John Police Force is coordinating with other jurisdictions to ensure a swift resolution to this case.
Public Assistance Requested
Residents in New Brunswick and beyond are advised to exercise caution and report any sightings or information related to Peter Johnston to their local police or Crime Stoppers. The police stress that the public should not approach the suspect directly, as he may be considered dangerous.
