The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) are reaching out to the public for assistance in locating a federal offender, Evan Haney, who is currently wanted on a Canada Wide Warrant. Haney, 29, has breached the terms of his Statutory Release and poses a concern for public safety.

Described as an Indigenous male, Haney stands 5’11” (180 cm) tall and weighs approximately 195 lbs (88 kgs). He has distinctive brown hair and hazel/green eyes, and he is often seen wearing thick-rimmed glasses with a green/blue strap. His appearance is further marked by several tattoos, including the logos of the Toronto Maple Leafs and Toronto Raptors on his neck, a tribute to his love for Canadian sports teams.

Haney’s criminal history is extensive, comprising a range of serious offenses. He is serving a sentence of 2 years and 3 months for crimes that include multiple counts of break and enter, theft under $5000, disguise with intent, assault with a weapon, and fraud under $5000. His record indicates a troubling pattern of behavior, which raises the stakes for the communities he frequents.

The OPP report that Haney is known to frequent the Kitchener-Waterloo area, as well as Cambridge and Milton. Interestingly, he also has connections in Newfoundland, suggesting that his movements could extend beyond Ontario. This raises concerns about his potential to evade capture, making public vigilance all the more necessary.

In cases like Haney’s, community awareness is crucial. The OPP encourages anyone who may have encountered Haney or has information regarding his whereabouts to come forward. Public assistance can play a vital role in ensuring safety and promoting accountability for offenders who breach legal conditions.

The OPP’s R.O.P.E. Squad is dedicated to monitoring repeat offenders and ensuring they comply with their release conditions. These efforts are vital not only for the offenders’ rehabilitation but also for the safety of the communities they inhabit.

As Canadians, we take pride in our commitment to community safety and support our law enforcement agencies in their efforts to maintain order and justice. If you see Evan Haney or have any information that could lead to his capture, it is imperative to report it to the authorities immediately.

In a nation where public safety is a shared responsibility, staying informed and alert can make all the difference in fostering safe environments for ourselves and our loved ones.
