Nanaimo RCMP said a man wanted on a Canada-wide warrant may be in the area.
Police said the warrant was issued for 39-year-old Clint Billy after he failed to comply with release conditions following his parole.
He served part of a two-year sentence for robbery and weapons offences. Police said he was released on March 24 and instructed to live at a home in Victoria.
“Although Billy does not have confirmed connections to Nanaimo, police have received information indicating he may be in the area,” reads a news release from Nanaimo RCMP.
Billy is described as Indigenous, six feet tall and 175 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He has a sleeve tattoo on his left arm depicting Japanese demons.
Police said the photo provided is recent and asked anyone with information that could help locate him to contact the Nanaimo RCMP non-emergency line at 250-754-2345 or the nearest RCMP detachment if he is seen elsewhere.
