Nipawin residents are being warned of a high risk violent offender.

RCMP say 42-year-old Audrey Freda Bignose has a history of substance abuse and committing violent offences against people she comes into contact with. 

Bignose was released from prison yesterday and has made it her intention to live in Nipawin.  Bignose has to abide by a number of conditions including abstaining from alcohol and drugs.  She is also not permitted to possess firearms or other weapons. 

RCMP are advising people not to take action against Audrey Freda Bignose, but to be aware she is at a very high risk to re-offend.
