Police throughout Atlantic Canada are on high alert looking for a pair of Halifax-area fugitives who are believed to be travelling together and are considered armed and dangerous.
While Halifax Police aren’t saying where they think the men might be headed, Codiac Regional RCMP say they believe the dangerous duo are somewhere in southeastern New Brunswick.
26-year-old Andrew Jason Hudder is a suspect in a drive by shooting that happened on Robie Street last November, when someone in a car fired several shots at a passenger in taxi.
He was charged with two counts of attempted murder, two counts of assault with a weapon and nine weapons related offences.
Hudder was himself the target of a gang related shooting in 2009, and police say he is a known associate of Halifax crime figure Jimmy Melvin Jr.
28-year-old Brandon Joseph Mombourquette is wanted for weapons offences after a 2009 traffic stop where police found a loaded handgun.
He failed to attend a court date scheduled for earlier this year and police issued an Atlantic region-wide warrant for his arrest.
Both men are considered armed and dangerous.
If you see either of them do not approach them, call 9-1-1 immediately.
