Victoria police continue to search for wanted man Travis Moore, after police say he evaded an arrest attempt Sunday by slipping through the bushes at Beacon Hill Park.
At 4 p.m., officers were called to the park after someone reported seeing Moore, but when they arrived the person fled from officers into the bushes and they were unable to locate him.
Moore is a federal offender serving a five-year sentence for several convictions including break and enter, robbery, assault and assault causing bodily harm. The warrant is the result of him failing to abide by the conditions of his statutory release.
