Coquitlam RCMP is asking for the public’s help to locate a man who failed to return to the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital, better known as Colony Farm.
Police say John Berg, 45, was out on a day pass but failed to return as scheduled Friday morning.
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.
Berg is described as Caucasian with short, brown hair, blue eyes and a slight goatee.
