“He is believed to be in our detachment area and we would like serve that warrant,” said Dave Dickson, manager of community safety.
“He is serving his sentence for manslaughter and has breached his parole, thus he is unlawfully at large.”

Police believe Bob has ties to communities west of Williams Lake.
