Police say a violent sex offender who was wanted nationwide was arrested in Surrey on Sunday (April 9).
Marcel Joseph Parent, 46, was wanted on a Canada-wide warrant issued by the Correctional Service of Canada National Monitoring Centre.
Cpl. Vanessa Munn with Surrey RCMP told the Now-Leader that Parent allegedly broke the strict conditions of his parole. He will remain in police custody until the parole board determines when and where he gets released, said Cpl. Munn.
Parent’s charges stem from Calgary.
He was also wanted Canada-wide in 2015 after Vancouver Police said he failed to return to his halfway house for his curfew.
