The Ontario Provincial Police's Repeat Offender Parole Enforcement (ROPE) Squad is asking the public for help finding a federal offender wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for breaching his statutory release, according to an OPP media release issued Thursday.

Kurtis Letts is described as an Indigenous man, 36, 5 ft. 7 in. (170 cm) tall and 176 lb. (80 kg), with a light complexion, brown hair and hazel eyes, police said.

According to the release, he has distinctive face tattoos:

Letts is serving a sentence of two years, six months and one day for armed robbery, two counts of assaulting a peace officer with a weapon or imitation, and assault causing bodily harm, the OPP said. The warrant is for a breach of his statutory release; the release does not announce any new charges.

Police said he is known to frequent the Greater Toronto Area, Peterborough, Barrie, Southwestern Ontario and Northern Ontario.

Anyone who has contact with him or information about where he is is asked to call the Provincial ROPE Squad at 416-808-5900 or toll-free at 1-866-870-7673, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS), or 9-1-1.
