He is described as 6 feet 1 inch tall and 160 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. At the time of the breach, he was wearing a black hat, prescription glasses, a dark short-sleeved shirt, grey pants, and dark-coloured shoes.

Anyone with information on Watts's whereabouts is asked to call 911 or visit their local police station. Anonymous tips can be submitted to Info-Crime Montréal by phone at 514-393-1133 or online. Rewards of up to $5,000 may be available for information leading to an arrest, subject to certain conditions.
