Violent Offender Goes Missing From Vancouver Halfway House

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 23 Oct, 2019 08:31 PM

    Vancouver Police are asking for public assistance to locate a federal offender who failed to return to his halfway house last week.

     

    James Larry Moyah, 45, is now unlawfully at large and wanted Canada-wide for breaching the conditions of his statutory release. Anyone who sees him should not approach.


    Moyah is a two-time federal offender on statutory release for aggravated assault. He has a history of violence and substance abuse.


    Moyah is Indigenous, approximately 5’10 and 160 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He has long hair, which he often wears tied back in a ponytail, and has tattoos on his arms and back. He was last seen around 4 p.m. on October 18, and was wearing black pants, a black jacket with a white hood, and black shoes.


    Anyone who sees Moyah or who has information about his whereabouts should call 9-1-1 immediately.
