Police appeal for dash cam and CCTV footage to help in the search for Magnus

New Westminster – New Westminster Police Department investigators continue to search for high risk missing person Magnus, who was reported missing on May 14th. Detectives are working in partnership with neighbouring police agencies and members of the public to search areas he has been known to frequent and to raise awareness of the missing man.

Magnus is described as a 38 year old Asian male, standing 5’11” tall, weighing 180 pounds, with brown eyes and black hair worn in a ponytail. He was last seen wearing a black t-shirt with a yellow sun decal over the left chest, black Lululemon joggers, and a black Lululemon puffer jacket.

Detectives are now asking the public to provide dash cam or CCTV footage of two specific locations to assist in the search.

  • The area between 6th Street to 8th Street and 8th Avenue to Front Street from May 13th, between the hours of 9:45pm and 10:45pm.
  • Port Mann Bridge (on the shoulder of the highway) from May 14th, between the hours of 6:30am and 7:30am.

“As time goes on the concern for Magnus’s well-being intensifies,” stated Sergeant Andrew Leaver. “Please check your CCTV and dash cam footage to see if you were in these locations at time specified. We need your help in finding Magnus.”
