Occurrence #: BA14-020237
Date: Monday, May 5, 2014 – 12:00pm
On the 5th of May 2014 at approximately 12pm, Barrie Police were at the Probation office for an unrelated matter when a 30 year old male entered the office hoping to transfer his file from Edmonton to Barrie as the male had recently moved to the beautiful city of Barrie.
While probation officers conducted a background search of the male they discovered that the male was wanted on a warrant held by Edmonton Police regarding an assault and numerous recognizance violations.
Barrie Police subsequently contacted Edmonton Police who were aware that the male had recently moved to Ontario and were in the process of extending the warrant to a radius of Ontario. Edmonton indicated they would be happy to return the male to Alberta in order to deal with his outstanding charges.
The male will be held in Barrie cells pending the arrival of Edmonton Police which is expected to be on Tuesday May 6th 2014.
