Mitchell Moise wanted on Canada-wide warrant after Victoria escape

The Victoria Police Department has issued a Canada-wide warrant for 48-year-old Mitchell Moise, who fled a halfway house in downtown Victoria. Moise left the facility without permission on October 8 at approximately 10:10 p.m. and has not returned or contacted his parole officer.

Moise is a third-time federal offender who previously served a sentence for assault, break and enter, and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose. He is currently under a 10-year supervision order.

Police have noted several identifiable tattoos on Moise, including a tribal design on his left upper arm, a lion’s head on his left forearm, and a specific inscription on his right forearm. Authorities advise the public not to approach him and to call 911 immediately if he is spotted.
