Authorities have arrested a high-risk offender who allegedly removed his GPS ankle bracelet and failed to return to his court-ordered address.

The York Regional Police High Risk Offender Unit said Neal Bowie, 42, of King Township, was taken into custody without incident.

YRP issued a notice on Tuesday, indicating that Bowie was last seen at around 10:30 a.m. in the area of Yonge Street and Charles Street West in Toronto.

Back in October 2023, he breached a court order and was briefly “unlawfully at large” before he was ultimately captured and arrested.
