Behchoko RCMP are seeking the public's help in finding 44-year-old Steven Theriault on an arrest warrant as a result of the fatal motor vehicle incident on Highway #3 April 22, 2020.

On April 22, 2020, Behchoko RCMP believe Steven Theriault, of Behchoko, was the driver of the vehicle that crashed, killing a female passenger. Theriault and a second male left the scene before Behchoko RCMP could arrive.
