Police search for violent offender wanted on Canada-wide warrant  

Nanaimo RCMP said a man wanted on a Canada-wide warrant may be in the area.

Police said the warrant was issued for 39-year-old Clint Billy after he failed to comply with release conditions following his parole.

He served part of a two-year sentence for robbery and weapons offences. Police said he was released on March 24 and instructed to live at a home in Victoria.

“Although Billy does not have confirmed connections to Nanaimo, police have received information indicating he may be in the area,” reads a news release from Nanaimo RCMP.
