Quebec provincial police (SQ) are asking for the public’s assistance in locating a man suspected of arson, assault and uttering threats.

Abitibi-Temiscamingue resident Mathieu Leblanc, 34, is wanted in connection with criminal acts that occurred on Sept. 10 and 12, 2021, “including assault with a weapon, causing damage to property by fire and allegedly uttering threats to others,” the SQ said in a news release.

He is six feet tall and weighs around 230 pounds. He has brown hair and brown eyes.

Police are asking anyone who sees him to call 911 immediately.
