Edmonton police are turning the public to help locate a man they describe as a “high-risk” offender.

Police allege that Paul Michael Egotak, 29, breached conditions of his release order. According to a government site that tracks high-risk offenders, Egotak was released in June and is a committed violent offender.

At the time, the Edmonton Police Service said it had “reasonable grounds to believe he will commit another violent offence against someone in the community.”
