Warrant issued for B.C. sex offender who failed to show at halfway house
VANCOUVER – A man with a history of convictions for sex crimes and attacks on Ontario women is wanted by Vancouver police for being unlawfully at large.
Police say the man failed to report to his halfway house on Thursday night and is wanted on a Canada-wide warrant.
Darren Wheatley is accused of breaching his court-imposed release conditions.
He served 10 years for sexual assault, sexual assault causing bodily harm and overcoming resistance by choking, a sentence that followed three separate attacks on women in Ontario.
Wheatley has tattoos of a cow, a skull and a feather on his right upper arm.
Police say people should not approach Wheatley if they see him and should call 911 instead.
