VANCOUVER — Vancouver police say a violent offender who stabbed a stranger in a downtown Vancouver Tim Hortons in 2022 has been re-arrested by authorities after breaching the conditions of his statutory release.
In a news release Tuesday (Oct. 29), Vancouver PD arrested David Richard Morin on a Canada-wide warrant Monday afternoon at his Vancouver halfway house.
Police say Morin pleaded guilty in June 2022 to aggravated assault and was sentenced to three years in jail for the unprovoked stabbing of a stranger inside the Tim Hortons at Harbour Centre. He received a statutory release earlier this year, after serving two years of his mandated jail sentence, and had been living at a halfway house in Vancouver.
Vancouver Police issued a public warning when Morin was released in June due to his significant risk to the community and his high risk of re-offending. Among the conditions of his release was a requirement to abstain from consuming illicit drugs or alcohol.
