Toronto police are warning the public about the statutory release of a “high-risk offender” who has “demonstrated risk to the community, including children.”
Simon Gares, 43, was released on March 14 to reside in a Toronto halfway house, the Toronto Police Service (TPS) said in a March 25 press release. Gares, who is under a long-term supervision order and a lifetime weapons prohibition, was convicted in 2019 of assault causing bodily harm and found to be a dangerous offender, according to police.
