New Westminster police need the public's help to track down a man who called a non-emergency number and said he wanted to kidnap a woman and hold her against her will.

The call came at 8:17 a.m. Sunday from a man who wanted to be called "Fleece Johnson," according to a police bulletin. The caller said he is 29 years old and lives on Columbia Street in New Westminster. He told the responder that the potential victim, a 26-year-old woman with no children, lives five houses away.

The caller claimed to know the woman for five years and said he met her in a pub near his home.

Police have been unable to trace the call and have released an excerpt of the exchange:
