Victoria, BC – Community Services Division officers and our Investigative Services Division Missing Persons coordinator are asking for your help as we continue to work to locate Paul Martin Seal.
Paul Seal was originally the subject of a wanted notice on May 18th, 2018 as part of efforts to locate him on a warrant for breaching his court-ordered conditions. Officers were in contact with him initially. During this contact Paul made comments that caused officers concern for his well-being. These comments mean that in addition to working to locate him on his warrants for breach, efforts to locate him now involve our Missing Persons coordinator. While he is wanted on warrants, our primary concern is his safety and well-being.
Paul Seal remains wanted for breaching conditions in relation to a 2009 fraud file that allegedly has thirteen victims. As such, there are several outstanding breach and related files for which he is being sought. Our investigators believe that, in addition to making comments which cause concern for his well-being, he is actively avoiding police.
Our efforts to locate Paul Seal safely mean that investigators continue to reach out to those who know Paul personally to encourage him to verify his well-being.
Paul Martin Seal is described as a 50 year-old Caucasian man standing six feet tall with a medium build. He has short, greying brown hair and a grey and brown beard. Recent photographs of Seal are below.
Seal is active on several local Facebook pages and is active online locally and is known to frequent local businesses, including the Yates Street Taphouse and the Strathcona Hotel.
