Man who walked away from Vancouver halfway house arrested

By CityNews Staff

Vancouver police say a 57-year-old man who was wanted on a Canada-wide warrant has been arrested.

The VPD said in an update Saturday that Steven Frederickson was found in Gastown, after officers responded “to reports of a suspicious person near Columbia and Powell streets.”

“He was immediately taken into custody and returned to jail,” police said.

The search for Frederickson began after he walked away from his halfway house on Thursday. Police said at the time that he was “considered violent and poses a risk to public safety.”
