Overview

  • Randall Hopley, a high-risk sex offender, was re-arrested by Vancouver police on May 22, 2025, just hours after his statutory release from Mission Institution.
  • Hopley was required to reside at a halfway house in Vancouver as part of his release conditions but refused to comply and left the facility.
  • A Canada-wide warrant was issued shortly after his departure, leading to his same-day apprehension by authorities.
  • Hopley’s history includes a six-year prison sentence for the 2011 abduction of a three-year-old boy and repeated breaches of supervision orders since his 2018 release.
  • The incident has reignited calls for stricter oversight and improved inter-agency communication regarding high-risk offenders on statutory release.
