REGINA – Police are searching for a dangerous offender who has breached the strict conditions of his Long-Term Supervision Order (LTSO) and is now unlawfully at large.
Clayton Grant Moose, 47, is wanted by Correctional Service Canada (CSC) and the Regina Police Service. He is considered “a very high risk to reoffend violently” and is currently under an LTSO, a stringent form of community supervision imposed after a high-risk, violent offender has served their full prison sentence.
Moose was recently arrested after a previous period of being unlawfully at large but has once again failed to comply with the conditions of his order.
According to Parole Board of Canada documents, he was serving his fourth federal sentence of eight years and three months. He has an extensive violent criminal history that includes convictions for robbery with a firearm, pointing a firearm, disguise with intent, break and enter, and multiple escapes, the most recent adding another five months to his sentence.
Moose was convicted for a 2012 violent home invasion. Moose and an accomplice, armed with a shotgun and wearing disguises, robbed a couple, reveal parole documents. During the robbery, he pointed the firearm at the victims and struck the male victim with the firearm. Moose shot a shell into the ceiling as he fled.
The Parole Board said the event caused “significant and lasting trauma” to the victims.
Moose has a long-standing addiction to alcohol and drugs, which he has used as a coping mechanism stemming from a traumatic childhood that included parental substance abuse, violence, and being a victim of sexual assault by an older male relative for two years.
Regina police say Moose is about 5-foot-8 and 180 pounds. He has long, grey hair, and brown eyes. He has skulls tattooed on his right arm and “Iron Maiden” on his right forearm.
