Winnipeg police are warning the public about the release of a convicted sex offender who’s considered high risk to reoffend.

On Friday, Thomas Mackenzie Anderson was released from Stony Mountain Institution after serving a sentence for aggravated assault, and breaking and entering to commit robbery. He is expected to move into a community living facility in Winnipeg.

WPS HANDOUT Thomas Mackenzie Anderson

Anderson is described as 6-2 and 170 pounds, with brown eyes and various tattoos, including "feather family first," "native pride" and "bear claw" on his right arm and hand; a web, pentagram, owl and skulls on his left arm and hand; "R.I.P. mom" on his chest; "south side" on his back; and "family" on his face.

Winnipeg police said in a statement Anderson has received some treatment, but is still considered a high risk to reoffend. He will be listed on the sex-offender registry for the next 20 years.

The 24-year-old had been behind bars since July 2011, after he was arrested shortly after breaking into a stranger’s home.

During the incident, Anderson broke into a woman’s residence through a window, robbed her, blocked her from escaping, then assaulted and sexually assaulted the victim. He was convicted in October 2013.

Police acknowledged "any form of vigilante activity or other unreasonable conduct directed at Thomas Mackenzie Anderson will not be tolerated."

Anyone with important information about Anderson is asked to call the Manitoba police integrated high-risk sex-offender unit at (204) 984-1888.
