Edmonton police have issued a violent offender warning about Michael Wayne Beauchamp, who was released from jail Tuesday evening.

Beauchamp had completed a six year sentence for robbery, overcoming resistance and failure to comply with recognizance at the Grande Cache Institution.

Police consider Beauchamp to be a violent offender who poses a risk of significant harm to the community.

In a news release, EPS says the EPS Behavioural Assessment Unit will closely monitor Beauchamp, who will be residing in the Edmonton area.
