He is being sought on a warrant under the mental health act, and police say he should not be approached as he “may behave in a way that presents a risk to (himself) or the public.”

Colony Farm houses some of B.C.’s most notorious offenders who have been found not criminally responsible (NCR) due to a mental disorder or declared mentally unfit to stand trial.
