According to police, when officers followed up on the tip, they were unable to locate the man.
Anyone with information about Testawits’ whereabouts is asked to call 911, the Peace River RCMP detachment at 780-624-6611 or their local police agency. Tips can also be anonymously submitted by contacting Crime Stoppers by phoning 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or online.
RCMP are urging the public not to approach or confront Testawits if they see him.
