Police are warning the public of a woman who “poses a significant public safety risk” who is currently living in Vancouver as she awaits trial.
Kayla Kelly, 29, is awaiting trial for three charges, including two counts of assault, and one count of assaulting a police officer. She was also recently arrested for aggravated assault and assault with a weapon related to a serious random stranger assault.
“Kelly’s behavior has been escalating and she’s the suspect in multiple recent violent incidents,” says Constable Jason Doucette.
“Despite the efforts of the VPD and our partner agencies, she remains in the community and her unpredictable behavior puts the public at risk.”
