Given the tangible threat that Teixeira posed to the public, and the complexity of this fugitive investigation, IHIT and CFSEU-BC partnered with the Bolo Program, a Canadian public safety initiative encouraging citizens to be on the lookout for Canada’s most wanted suspects. In close cooperation with IHIT and CFSEU-BC investigators, the Bolo Program conducted an amplification campaign of the Teixeira wanted notice which generated millions of media, billboard and Facebook impressions, as well as over 100 tips. In cooperation with Metro Vancouver Crime Stoppers, the Bolo Program also offered a reward up to CAD $50,000 for any information leading to the arrest of the suspect.
