Last week, Calgary police announced 23-year-old Paul Algino Barrett was being released.

On Sept. 21, officials announced Barrett was being released in Calgary following the completion of a two-year sentence for break-and-enter and theft.
Authorities say he was bound under strict probation conditions but has since disappeared.
"After exhausting all options to locate Barrett, he is now wanted on warrants for failing to comply with his probation order," police said in a release.
Barrett is described as:
- 185 centimetres (6'1") tall;
