The EPS describes Gambler as 5’10” tall, 165 lbs, with dark brown or black hair and brown eyes.

“He is considered dangerous, is known to carry weapons, and should not be approached,” Edmonton police said in the news release.

In an updated news release Thursday, police said they had located Gambler.

This was the second time this year Edmonton police had issued arrest warrants for Gambler. He was wanted in May for also allegedly breaching conditions of his court order.
