Wanted federal offender has ties to two northern Ontario towns

In what police are call proof the system needs repairs, almost half of people North Bay police checked on were violating bail conditions.

Police are searching for a wanted federal offender currently serving time for convictions of robbery and assault with ties to three Ontario towns, including two in the north.

Dylan Doey, 26, is wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for allegedly breaching his statutory release, Ontario Provincial Police said in a news release Tuesday.

Doey “is known to frequent the Kingston, Timmins and Iroquois Falls” areas.

He is 5-foot-7, 160 pounds and has two tattoos on his face: a star over his right eye and a teardrop under his left eye.
