Curtis Dale Hill, 30, is a recently released offender who will be monitored by Calgary Police. (Calgary Police Service) Calgary police have issued a public warning about the release of a man they called "predatory and opportunistic" from prison.
Curtis Dale Hill, 30, is in Calgary after serving a 10-year prison sentence in Edmonton for seven counts of armed robbery, as well as break and enter, theft, assault and other charges.
