Public assistance to locate man wanted on arrest warrants

The Cumberland Street Crime Enforcement Unit (SCEU) is seeking information on the whereabouts of a man currently wanted on an arrest warrant in relation to an incident in Amherst.

On October 30, at approximately 8:40 a.m., members of the Cumberland SCEU initiated a traffic stop on a black Lincoln Nautilus in relation to an ongoing drug trafficking investigation. As members exited their vehicles, the driver reversed the Nautilus in the direction of officers, striking one of the police vehicles. The Nautilus then fled toward New Brunswick at a high rate of speed. In the interest of public safety, officers did not pursue the vehicle.

Adam Joseph Hie, 30, of Moncton, is wanted and facing charges of:

• Assault Peace Officer (3 counts)
• Assault with a Weapon
• Dangerous Operation of a Conveyance
• Flight from Police
• Obstruct Police Officer

Hie is described as 6-foot-0, 170 lbs with very short black hair and blue eyes. He was last seen October 30 in Sackville, New Brunswick, and may be driving a Ford Explorer. Hie is also wanted in New Brunswick for Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking and Escape Lawful Custody.

Police have made several attempts to locate Hie, and are requesting assistance from the public.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Adam Joseph Hie is asked to refrain from approaching him and to contact their local police. To remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers, toll-free, at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), submit a secure web tip at www.crimestoppers.ns.ca, or use the P3 Tips app.
