Vancouver police are warning the public about a high-risk sex offender who will be residing in Vancouver.

Scott Mackay, 61, is on day parole after serving a life sentence for convictions of sexual assault, forcible confinement and second-degree murder. Police say he poses a significant risk to women in the community, including sex workers.

Police describe Mackay as 5-foot-10, with a slim build, short grey hair and hazel-coloured eyes.

While living in the community, Mackay must abide by conditions, including he can't buy or consume alcohol or drugs, and he must report all contacts with females to his parole supervisor.

He's also not allowed to purchase or access pornography, or drive, and he has a 10 p.m. curfew.

Anyone who witnesses Mackay in violation of any of these conditions is asked to call 911.
