The Winnipeg Police Service (WPS) is executing a search warrant at a North End property on Wednesday to look for evidence linked to a missing person case from 2021.
The missing person unit, with the help of the forensic services unit, is on scene in the 200 block of Selkirk Avenue in connection to the disappearance of Cody Harper. There is no threat to public safety.
Images from the scene show police vehicles in the area, with the home blocked off by police tape.
“We do want to assure the public that there are no concerns for their own personal safety,” said Const. Claude Chancy with the Winnipeg police at a news conference on Wednesday.
“This is an ongoing investigation. This is a search warrant that has been provided to the missing person unit and is in the process of being executed.”
Chancy couldn’t say how long police would be at the scene or whether any arrests were anticipated. No other search warrants have been executed in this case.
WPS first issued a missing person bulletin for Harper on Dec. 13, 2021. He was last seen in the Elmwood area on Oct. 13, 2021, and was reported missing on Nov. 1, 2021.
