Canada-wide warrant issued for B.C. offender who walked away from halfway house

Vancouver police are asking for the public’s help to find a man wanted Canada-wide for failing to return to his halfway house.

Investigators say Kenneth Nolan Kirton, 54, didn’t return to the facility by curfew on Tuesday.

Police say Kirton has a history of committing “serious, dangerous offences.”

In March, police issued a similar bulletin after Kirton failed to come back to his halfway house. Kirton was taken back into custody the following day.
