In October 2002, Leon was caught in the act of theft under $5,000 in Port Coquitlam.
He was found guilty in January the next year and was sentenced to a week in jail and 18 months probation, according to B.C. online court services.
Leon is described as:

- Brown eyes
Anyone with more information on Leon or his whereabouts is urged to call 911 or their local police detachment, anonymously contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or go online to www.solvecrime.ca.
Crime Stoppers says a $5,000 reward could be granted if tips and details lead to an arrest and charge.
