Police in southern New Brunswick are asking the public’s help as they search for a 49-year-old man wanted on a Canada-wide warrant.
Police in Saint John say Bruce Marion allegedly failed to report to the Community Correctional Centre and a warrant was issued Wednesday.
They describe him as five-foot-seven, about 140 pounds with brown hair, blue eyes and a F-T-W tattoo on the three middle fingers of his left hand.
Police say he is wanted on several charges including two counts of possession of a prohibited firearm with ammunition and three counts of unauthorized possession of a firearm.

Nova Scotia’s Progressive Conservatives say if they are re-elected to govern on November 26th, they will impose a cap on electricity rate increases.
Party leader Tim Houston confirmed that if Nova Scotia Power is given approval for a rate increase, a Tory government would calculate the average of rate hikes across the country and then order the utility not to exceed that number.
The promise is part of their election platform released yesterday.
Much of the Tory platform repeats previous pledges made during the campaign, as well as initiatives announced by Houston’s government before the election was called last month.

The Nova Scotia Labour Department has ordered the dismantling of an unsafe crane in Dartmouth.
Problems with the crane prompted the closure of the MacDonald Bridge on Thursday afternoon, creating traffic chaos in the Halifax-Dartmouth area.
Some homes in the area were evacuated.
As additional precautionary measure, the Labour Department says all cranes in the Halifax Regional Municipality must be re-inspected in the coming days.
