Port Alberni RCMP are on the hunt for David Bird, a man with a history of violence.
The 43-year old is wanted on charges of robbery, forcible confinement, break and enter and assault with a weapon.
It’s believed the charges stem from an incident where Bird is alleged to have been part of a group that broke into a Third Avenue apartment in December.
Two females were arrested and charged after the incident with one released on bail and the other choosing to remain in custody.
Bird is still on probation after serving a 4-year sentence for kidnapping and savagely beating a man with a stamp hammer in 2018.
Police say Bird should be considered armed and dangerous and if observed should not be approached.
