VICTORIA – Police in Victoria have issued a Canada-wide warrant for a convicted murderer they say has breached his parole conditions.

Officers want the public’s help locating 41-year-old Jamie Garth Hunt, but warn that anyone who sees him should exercise caution and should not approach or confront him.

Police say Hunt is serving a life sentence after being convicted of second-degree murder for a 2007 killing.

Victoria Police have referred questions to B.C. Corrections, which declined comment. Correctional Services Canada has confirmed Hunt is under their jurisdiction but declined further comments citing the Privacy Act.

Hunt is described as five feet eight inches tall, with a slim build and tattoos showing flames and the words “original gangster” on his neck.

Anyone who sees Hunt is asked to call 911 or Greater Victoria Crime Stoppers.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 28, 2023.
