The Harbour View police are urgently seeking the public's assistance in locating a man wanted in relation to several cases of rape and larceny by trick.
He is Daniel Chen, also known as ‘Mini-Me’ or ‘Survival Money’, and is believed to frequent several areas, including Waterford in Portmore, St Catherine; a shopping centre in Harbour View, Kingston; and sections of Waterhouse, Dunkirk, and Papine in St Andrew.
The police report that Chen meets his victims through social media, specifically TikTok, engaging them in online conversations.
He then requests their banking information under the pretence of sending them funds.
However, it is alleged that upon meeting the individuals in person, he commits his crimes.
The police urge anyone with information on the whereabouts of Daniel Chen to contact the Harbour View Police at 876-928-6001, Crime Stop at 311, or the nearest police station.
