Coquitlam RCMP say they have located a man who failed to return to Colony Farm Forensic Psychiatric Hospital.

Adam Yvan Gorges was reported missing from the hospital just after 6:30 p.m. Friday, and was wanted on a Canada-wide warrant Saturday for being unlawfully at large.

On Sunday morning, RCMP said the 29-year-old had been located.

RCMP on Saturday asked the public to help find Gorges, but warned he might behave in a way that presents a risk to himself or the public and asked people to not approach him if he’s spotted.
