RCMP seeking tips on high-risk offender

Police are hoping the public can help them find a man accused of assault with a weapon and other charges.

Gillies, who is known to police, is described as caucasian, 6-feet-6 inches tall, weighing 180 pounds with brown hair and hazel eyes.

He has been designated as a high-risk offender and is currently at large.

The warrant is for assault, assault with a weapon, uttering threats, breach of undertaking and theft under $5000.
