Vancouver police are asking for the public’s help in tracking down a high-risk sex offender who failed to return to his Vancouver halfway house.
A Canada-wide warrant has been issued for 29-year-old Jonathan Cardinal. He is currently serving a long-term supervisory order and living at a Vancouver halfway house following two violent sexual assaults in 2010. Cardinal is bound by several conditions, including a curfew, and failed to return to his halfway house on Tuesday.
Cardinal is described as Indigenous, 5’8” tall and 165 pounds. He has short brown hair and brown eyes. He has a tattoo on his upper back and was last seen wearing a blue T-shirt, blue jeans, white sneakers, a backpack and black-rimmed glasses.
Anyone who sees Cardinal, or knows of his whereabouts, is asked to call 911 immediately, or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477.
