Police say a “high-risk violent” offender who was “unlawfully at large” has been arrested in Toronto.

York Regional police issued a news release seeking information about Noel Bowie’s whereabouts after they say his court-ordered GPS monitoring device was taken off and he failed to return to his court-ordered address.

Police told CP24 that Bowie, 42, is considered to be high risk because of his “history of violent offences.”

Police released images of Bowie on Tuesday in an effort to locate him. He was later arrested in Toronto overnight.
