Brent Stephen Martin failed to return to the New Hope Centre in Nanaimo July 27. He was living there for the past six months.

Martin served 3.5 years on a manslaughter conviction before being granted day parole earlier this year.

Police received information on Martin’s location Friday and arrested him at a house in Nanaimo without incident.

He was transferred to a federal prison Monday for a review of his breach.
