Kwabena Bosiako is now in custody.

Spokesperson Cpl. Vanessa Munn explained an investigation led by Surrey RCMP resulted in the 22-year-old's arrest in New Westminster today (June 7).

A 22-year-old man is sought by B.C. police for robbery and firearms-related offences.

And he's waiting for his next court appearance for similar alleged crimes that took place late last year in the Tri-Cities

Kwabena Bosiako is listed as one of Metro Vancouver Crime Stoppers' "most wanted" and the organization is seeking the public's help to find him.

His latest arrest warrant took effect out of Surrey on Tuesday (June 6).

According to his profile, Bosiako is wanted on multiple counts of robbery using an unauthorized firearm, discharging a firearm with intent and flight from police.

In November 2022, he was arrested for a pair of robberies in Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam — the latter with the use of a restricted firearm.

Bosiako is also facing charges of flight of police from the Coquitlam incident, as well as use of a prohibited firearm linked to a criminal organization and "dangerous operation of a conveyance."

His next appearance in Port Coquitlam Provincial Court is set for Dec. 15 for a pre-trial conference, per B.C. online court services.

That same day, Bosiako is also scheduled to fix a date for separate offences in Coquitlam.

On Oct. 3, he was arrested for operating a "conveyance" while impaired by drugs or alcohol and refused to comply.

A day earlier, Oct. 2, Bosiako, a novice driver, was handed a $109 violation ticket for failing to properly display his "N" while driving a motor vehicle.
