Vancouver police say a designated “dangerous offender” who was living in the city is back in police custody.
Tyler Gordon Strathdee, 36, was arrested Sunday following an unspecified incident in the Downtown Eastside.
In December, police warned Strathdee posed “a significant risk of harm and is a high risk to commit further physical and sexual violence,” and said he would be living in a local halfway house.
