Vancouver police have arrested a high-risk sex offender that walked away from his Vancouver halfway house last week.
A Canada-wide warrant was issued for Jonathan Cardinal, 29, when he failed to return to the facility on July 2.
He is serving a long-term supervisory order for a pair of violent sexual assaults in 2010 and was under multiple conditions including a curfew.
