Vancouver – Vancouver Police are searching for a high-risk sex offender now wanted Canada-wide after walking away from his halfway house just hours after being released from custody on Thursday.

His current whereabouts are unknown, and he is considered a significant risk to the public.

Field, who is now wanted Canada wide, is serving a sentence for sexual assault, break and enter, robbery, and theft. He has a history of committing violent offences while under the influence of drugs.

Anyone who sees Field or knows his whereabouts is asked to call 9-1-1 immediately.
