A man with hundreds of files on record with 琉璃神社 RCMP has been released again following his latest arrest, and is suspected to continue living in the city.

Justin Wayne Collins was handcuffed on Aug. 21, for assault, mischief, theft of mail and breach of a probation order. He appeared before a judge before being released by the courts under further conditions, but it is unknown what these conditions are.

Const. Mike Della-Paolera said that Collins is of no fixed address, and his behaviours 鈥渉ave made him unsuitable in some supportive housing environments.

鈥淛ustin Collins continues to be linked to services in health, however he is not consistently accessing public health services and he is presenting no signs of becoming healthier in society.鈥�

Collins, 45, has generated a total of 421 police files, with 64 charges against him since 2016 including violent assaults, robbery, theft and indecent acts.

Della-Paolera recently said that the 琉璃神社 RCMP detachment is 鈥済oing numb鈥� from the continuous cycle of crime.

He said that it is an 鈥渦nusual step鈥� to warn the public about an offender鈥檚 release, but due to Collins鈥� history, he creates a concern for public safety.

鈥淭here are many court imposed conditions and Tresspass Notices prohibiting his public access to businesses, however, Justin Collins has demonstrated no respect for the courts or justice system and he blatantly disregards the conditions imposed.鈥�

Supt. Kara Triance said that Collins 鈥渉as no regard for the safety and well-being of others.鈥�

RCMP are asking that if anyone sees Collins breaking the law or creating unsafe spaces, to call 911.
