On March 27, 2024 Nelson Police Department officers arrested 24 year old Mason
Buchner-Monkman at a residence in Nelson. NPD officers became aware of Mr.
Buchner-Monkman being in the area several months ago and knew of several outstanding
warrants for his arrest in Manitoba. He was the subject of numerous release conditions in
that Province and had fled to Nelson.
In a combined effort between the Nelson Police Department, BC Prosecution Service,
Winnipeg Police Service and Manitoba Prosecution Service, legal authority was obtained
for NPD members to complete the arrest of Mr. Buchner-Monkman and arrange for his
transport back to Manitoba to face his charges.
Sgt Markevich “ Mr. Buchner-Monkman had come to the attention of the Nelson Police
Department after receiving several complaints about him related to suspicious and
concerning behaviours in our community. Officers were aware of his outstanding
warrants in Manitoba and worked hard to get authorization to arrest him and return him.
It took a concerted effort on everyone’s part to get everything in order with all the steps
necessary to achieve this goal. Mr. Buchner-Monkman is now on his way back to
Manitoba “
Sgt Dan Markevich
