VPD seeks dangerous offender wanted Canada-wide

Vancouver Police are asking for the public’s help locating Kenneth Nolan Kirton, a convicted sex offender who is wanted Canada-wide after failing to return to his halfway house on July 22.

Police say Kirton, 59, had been living in a Downtown Eastside halfway house after his release under a 10-year long-term supervision order. He signed out and did not return. He has been designated a dangerous offender.

Kirton is described as five feet four inches tall and about 135 pounds, with short black hair and brown eyes. Police say he may be wearing a tan button-up shirt, light blue shorts and white runners. He has several tattoos, including a skull on his right forearm, and a scar on his left cheek.

Anyone who sees Kirton or knows where he is is asked to call 911 immediately.
