Police spotted Antoine Naskathey at a SkyTrain station in Burnaby
A high-risk sex offender who disappeared while he was being transferred from a Vancouver halfway house to another residence in Regina, has been found and arrested.
Vancouver police say Antoine Naskathey, 36, was spotted on a SkyTrain in Burnaby and arrested shortly afterwards.
Naskathey has a history of breaking into homes and sexually assaulting women, police said, adding he is a two-time federal offender serving a six-year, long-term supervision order for sexual assault.
He had been staying at a halfway house, but went missing Feb. 8 when he was scheduled to board a flight to Regina, where he was being transferred.
On Friday, a Canada-wide warrant was issued for his arrest.
