VPD searches for man wanted Canada-wide

Vancouver Police are asking for the public’s help to find a 40-year-old man who violated his long term supervision order, and is now wanted Canada-wide.

Marcel Lawson was ordered by the courts to remain at a hospital while receiving medical treatment, but failed to do so. He has a history of committing serious sexual offences and he is at risk to re-offend.

Lawson is Indigenous, five feet eight inches tall, and weighs about 230 pounds. He has short black hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a black sweater with a white Under Armour logo on the chest, was carrying a black backpack, and may walk with a limp.
