A violent offender against women is in custody following an arrest in Vancouver’s new policing district.

The man, whose name can’t be released because charges are pending, has been arrested for breaching a conditional sentence order. He cut off his court-ordered ankle monitor and went on the run in December of 2025. Investigators with the VPD’s Intimate Partner Violence and Risk Assessment Unit were engaged because of his history of violence against women.

On March 2, detectives and District Five officers tracked the man to a hotel in Gastown on Water Street after receiving a tip.

“District 5 officers came up with a plan to take the suspect into custody. He tried to get away by jumping out a window but was arrested with the help of a police dog.” said Sgt. Adam Donaldson with the VPD. “Women in this community are safer now that this offender has been arrested.”

This offender has a history of criminal convictions dating back to 2004. Many of his offenses involve violence toward women and possession of firearms.

He’s been remanded in custody until his next court appearance later this month.
