A wanted high-risk offender walked out of their Vancouver halfway house
Editor’s note: Vancouver police say Field was arrested August 30th in Surrey.
A high-risk offender who failed to return to his halfway house in Vancouver is wanted Canada-wide.
In the early afternoon on Friday, August 26, Constable Steve Addison with Vancouver police issued a release stating they were searching for 60-year-old John Frederick Field.
Field walked away from his halfway house just a few hours after he was released from custody.
He received statutory release from Kent Institution, a correctional facility in the Fraser Valley, on Thursday, but then he left his Vancouver halfway house at around 7:30 pm that evening.
According to police, he hasn’t been seen or heard from since and is considered a “significant risk” to the public.
Police said Field is serving a sentence for sexual assault, break and enter, robbery, and theft. He also has a history of “committing violent offences while under the influence of drugs,” according to police.
If you see him or know where he is, you should call 911 immediately.
