The Northeast District RCMP needs the public’s assistance locating a wanted Bathurst man.

Police say he has been charged with robbery, breaking and entering, committing an indictable offence inside a dwelling house, assault with a weapon, assault causing bodily harm and wearing a disguise with intent.
