Coquitlam RCMP are looking for a patient who is "unlawfully at large" from the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital.
Mounties say 29-year-old Adam Yuan Gorges was reported missing on Thursday night shortly before 10 p.m. He is now wanted on a warrant of committal.
"Gorges may behave in a way that presents a risk to himself or the public, so if you see Gorges, police ask that you not approach Gorges and instead call 911 immediately," said Staff Sgt. Gunter Weissbock in a news release.
Gorges is described as having blonde hair, blue eyes and fair skin. He is 5'9" tall and weighs around 180 lbs. He was last seen wearing a rust-coloured hoodie.
