Federal offender known to frequent Brampton in custody

The man wanted on a Canada-wide for breaching his statutory release conditions is now in police custody.

Jakob Beisel, 22, is serving a three-year sentence for armed robbery while using a prohibited firearm, possession of a firearm or ammunition contrary to a prohibition order and failing to comply with his sentence.

Since Beisel allegedly broke his release conditions the Repeat Offender Parole Enforcement (R.O.P.E.) Squad issued a warning for residents of several cities on May 25.
