A reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest of a suspected pimp.

Police have been searching for 18-year-old Joseph Yohannes for several months, first issuing a call to find him in February.

Yohannes speaks English and French, and stands 1.78 m and 77 kg (5'10", 170 lb) with brown skin, brown eyes, and black hair that is usually braided.

He has pierced ears, a scar near his right eye, and a tattoo of a cross on his right forearm.

Yohannes also frequently wears a gold grill over his teeth.

Anyone with information about Yohannes, including parents of girls, is asked to call 9-1-1. or Info-Crime at 514-393-1133.

Police say that people should not intervene or attempt to detain him.
