RCMP seek kidnapping suspect who wanted ride

Police are searching for a 27-yearold man wanted in connection with a July kidnapping that started at a rural property south of Melville.

Alvin Lawrence Sunshine is facing charges of break-and-enter to commit kidnapping, using a firearm to commit kidnapping, using a firearm to commit robbery, disguise with intent, and three counts of theft. A warrant has been issued for his arrest.

He’s described as being approximately 5-foot-8, 140 pounds, with a slender build, brown eyes and black hair.

The reported kidnapping happened on July 12 around 1:30 p.m., police said. A woman was home alone at a rural property south of Melville when a man with a gun allegedly entered the residence and demanded to be driven to Regina. The woman complied and took the man to Regina, where he demanded to be taken to a specific residence, then exited the car. No injuries were reported. The suspect was said to be wearing black pants and a black Regina Riot hoodie with the word “defence” in white on the front.

“There are a very limited number of these hoodies in existence,” police said at the time, asking anyone who has seen someone wearing that hoodie to call police.

Anyone with information can contact Melville RCMP at 306728-1700, your local police service, or Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
