OPP seeking violent offender known to frequent Hamilton area

The OPP’s repeat offender parole enforcement squad is asking the public for help tracking down a violent criminal who frequents the Hamilton area.

On Friday, police issued a Canada-wide arrest warrant for Sean Robertson, 37, after he breached the conditions of his statutory release.

Robertson is serving a five-year sentence for:

  • Armed Robbery (Knife)
  • Robbery with Violence
  • Robbery x2
  • Possession of a Weapon
  • Flight from Police
  • Dangerous Operations of a vehicle x2
  • Theft of a Motor Vehicle
  • Theft Under $5000.00 x2
  • Fail to Comply with a Court Order

By law, federal offenders are automatically released under strict supervision, otherwise known as a statutory release, when they serve two-thirds of their sentence.

Police say Robertson is known to frequent Hamilton, Brantford, Niagara Falls, London, Tillsonburg, Woodstock, Essex County and Simcoe.

He’s described as a white, 37-year-old man who stands at six feet. He has brown hair and blue eyes, tribal art tattoos on his left arm, and a clover inked on the right side of his neck.

Officials are circulating his photo in an effort to track him down.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked by police to contact investigators by phoning 416-808-5900.

Alternatively, anonymous tips can be facilitated through Crime Stoppers by calling 1-800-222-8477.
