The Winnipeg Police Service’s Major Crimes Unit is asking for the public’s assistance in locating Roy Christopher Brandson.
It's believed he’s in the Lundar or Eriksdale areas and may be armed with a firearm. The public is cautioned not to approach Brandson.
He's described as a Caucasian male in appearance, approximately 5’10” in height, 160 lbs in weight with a medium build, brown hair and brown eyes. He may be in possession of a white 2002 Ford F250 extended-cab truck with a licence plate of FSY839.
There are two warrants for Brandson’s arrest.
The first warrant has been issued because investigators believe Brandson was involved in a violent incident on December 8, 2018, in the 3000 block of Sinclair Street where he forced entry into a residence and a firearm was pointed at two adult females.

- Unauthorized Possession of a Firearm
- Use of Firearm During Commission of an Indictable Offence

- Unauthorized Possession of a Firearm in Motor Vehicle
A second warrant for Brandson’s arrest was issued due to a number of incidents that occurred between June 1, 2018, and September 30, 2018, with one of the adult females. That warrant is charging him with:
- Assault (x2)
- Sexual Assault
- Forcible Confinement (x2)
