The second of four high-risk sex offenders who walked away from a Vancouver halfway home has since been arrested.
All four high-risk sex offenders walked away from Vancouver halfway homes within a two week period.
According to Vancouver police, 51-year-old Gary Vogrig was found drinking near Second Beach in Stanley Park shortly before 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday. After being observed, the man was arrested without incident.
Last week, police captured 46-year-old Richard Galt in Abbotsford. However, investigators continue their search for 48-year-old Timothy Daniel Jones and 46-year-old Gerald Richard McLean. The search for the two wanted men is Canada-wide.
