Convicted sex offender Ronald Currie Miljure is back in custody today, after Burnaby Mounties arrested him outside a home in Surrey last night.

Burnaby RCMP Cpl. Dave Reid said Miljure had stolen a vehicle from an old friend in Burnaby before travelling to the location in Surrey.

"(His friend) turned him down for taking care of him and hiding him and when he left he took her vehicle," he said.

Police were provided with the vehicle's make and model and licence information. With the vehicle's details, police caught on to Miljure's trail and followed him to the home in Surrey, where he was arrested "without incident," according to Reid.

In an earlier article by the NOW, police were asking the public for any information on the whereabouts of Miljure, who fled custody while being transferred to an institution in the Fraser Valley.

Miljure was sentenced to six years in jail for sexually assaulting three prostitutes in Vancouver. Back in custody, Reid said extra charges would be laid against Miljure for his escape last week.
