Toronto police are warning the public after a high-risk offender was released on Friday.
Police officials say 49-year-old William Gibson was serving a four-year sentence for assault causing bodily harm, robbery, obstructing a peace officer and failing to attend court.
Toronto police say they issued the warning because of Gibson’s “demonstrated risk to the community.”
“Mr. Gibson has been deemed a high risk to re-offend violently. Upon his release, he will not be subject to any Probation or other supervision orders,” police said in a release on Friday.
Gibson is believed to be in the Toronto area, according to authorities.
