David Fomradas has been taken into custody in Lethbridge, Alberta.
The 38-year-old had failed to return to a Forensic Psychiatric Hospital housing program on the Riverview Hospital grounds on Feb. 10 and was reported missing two days later.
In 2009 Fomradas was involved in the bizarre carjacking attempt in downtown Vancouver in which actors Kris and Carly Pope were both injured and the vehicle they were in was smashed into the CBC building. Fomradas was found not criminally responsible in 2010 and sent to the Colony Farm hospital.
He escaped while out on a day pass in 2012, prompting an internal review at the hospital and a crackdown on the day pass program.
Coquitlam RCMP reported Fomradas had been taken into custody without incident early Monday morning by the Lethbridge Police Department, and was scheduled to appear in court later in the day to initiate his transfer back to B.C.
There has been no updates on another Forensic Psychiatric patient who also went missing at the same time as Fomradas.
Violet Edna Miharija, 41, had been at the hospital to determine whether she was fit to stand trial for impaired driving charges.
Miharija is 5'2" tall and weighs 178 pounds. She has dark brown, shoulder-length hair and was last seen wearing a green sweatshirt, green sweatpants and white running shoes.
Anyone who sees Miharija is cautioned not to approach her but to contact their nearest police department or call 911. Anyone with information as to Miharija's whereabouts is asked to call Coquitlam RCMP at 604-945-1550 and quote file number 2016-4669.
