Keith Caouette, Man Considered High Risk To Reoffend Missing From Vancouver Halfway House

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 25 Sep, 2015 01:10 PM
    Vancouver police say a high-risk sex offender has disappeared from a halfway house just hours after he began serving a 10-year long-term supervision order.
     
    A warrant has now been issued for the arrest of 45-year-old Keith Caouette.
     
    Police say he is a two-time federal offender who has served 14 years in prison for kidnapping and sexual assault with a weapon.
     
    He began serving a long-term supervision order early Thursday, left the halfway home at about 5:30 p.m., and failed to return in time for curfew.
     
    Officers say the green-eyed the aboriginal man poses a high risk to reoffend and anyone who sees him is asked to call 911.
     
    Caouette is six feet tall, 300 pounds, with long brown hair, a full sleeve of tattoos on his left arm, a skull band on his right wrist, and three skulls on his right bicep.
