A Burnaby man wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for violating his parole was arrested recently.
Steven Wong was released on parole in June after serving 50 months for a series of violent robberies. Shortly after his release, he violated parole and a Canada-wide warrant was issued for his arrest.
The Burnaby RCMP recently obtained a warrant to enter a Southeast Burnaby home after receiving information that Wong might be there. The Burnaby RCMP's prolific offender suppression team worked with the Lower Mainland district emergency response team and the police dog service and arrested Wong without incident.
"The arrest of this dangerous offender was dealt with appropriately from a tactical and legal perspective," Supt. Derren Lench of the Burnaby RCMP said in a press release. "(We kept) officer and public safety as a paramount consideration."
