Vancouver – Vancouver Police have re-arrested a dangerous offender with a history of violence and sexual assault, following an incident in the Downtown Eastside Sunday night.
Tyler Strathdee was the subject of a public warning by Vancouver Police in December, after he obtained statutory release in Alberta and moved to Vancouver. At the time, Vancouver Police released a photo of Strathdee, warning that he posed a significant risk of harm and was a high risk to commit further physical and sexual violence.
Sunday night, following a criminal investigation by Vancouver Police, a Canada-wide warrant was issued for Strathdee’s arrest under Section 135(1) of the Corrections and Conditional Release Act.
He was taken into custody at his Downtown Eastside halfway house, and remains in custody.
