A Canada-wide warrant has been issued for 36-year-old John Boyd Creasey in connection with a North Vancouver home invasion.
Police allege Creasey broke into a Delbrook Avenue area home around 4 a.m. on the morning of Aug. 3 and threatened the lone occupant, a woman in her 60s.
Creasey held the woman against her will for a short period of time and demanded that she hand over credit and debit cards, along with their PIN numbers, police allege.
Police said the intruder threatened to kill the woman if she called the police.
North Vancouver RCMP spokesman Cpl. Richard De Jong refused to say if Creasey and the victim know each other or how he was linked by police to the home invasion.
He also refused to say if the suspect had a weapon.
De Jong said the woman was physically unharmed although "she's certainly traumatized by the incident."
De Jong said the person who took the woman's cards has used them since fleeing the scene.
Creasey is a resident of the Lower Mainland although police aren't sure where he is now. Creasey is known to police, said De Jong.
He is described as a white man, about five feet 10 inches tall and 160 pounds with brown hair and blue eyes. He has a tattoo of a cross on his right forearm and a peace sign on his left forearm.
Anyone seeing Creasey is asked to call the North Vancouver RCMP or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
