Vancouver police are warning the public of a high-risk sex offender who will be living in the city.
Michael Wayne Carpenter, 49, will be living in a correctional halfway house.
He’s currently serving a 10-year long-term supervision order for convictions on charges of sexual assault with a weapon, forcible confinement and uttering threats.
Police say Carpenter “poses a risk of significant harm to the safety of vulnerable female children, youth, and adults.”
It’s not the first time Vancouver police have issued warnings about Carpenter.
Back in 2017, he was arrested for breaching his release conditions after a public warning. Police also issued a warning in 2016.
Anyone who sees Carpenter violating the following conditions is urged to call 911.
