Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 27 Nov, 2024 11:31 AM

Police in Vancouver are warning the public that a high-risk offender has been released to a halfway house in the city.

Police say David Morin was released yesterday after being arrested earlier this week for violating the terms of his release.

Morin was originally convicted for a 2022 attack where he stabbed a stranger unprovoked inside a Tim Hortons in downtown Vancouver.

Police say he was granted statutory release in June after serving two years of his three-year sentence before being re-arrested.
