A high-risk offender with a history of violence, including two sexual assaults against strangers, has been released from a custodial facility in Toronto.
Medhani Yohans, 35, was released on July 29 and his whereabouts are currently unknown, according to a Friday news release from police.
Yohans also has a history in Guelph dating back to 2017. Police said it’s not known if he will, or has, returned to Guelph.
“The Guelph Police Service believes that Yohans poses a risk to the community, particularly to women, and is concerned that he may commit similar offences in the future,” police said.
Yohans is described by police as a Black male, 5’9”, with a thin build, black hair and brown eyes.
He is currently wanted by Guelph police and a warrant has been issued for his arrest after failing to comply with conditions of his release.
