Brandon White was wanted after failing to return to a Victoria halfway house

Wanted man Brandon White has been arrested.

The Victoria Police Department issued an advisory on Tuesday (Sept. 6), asking for the public’s help in locating White, who was wanted on a Canada-wide warrant after failing to return to a halfway house in Victoria.

He is serving a more than three-year federal sentence for robbery, arson, break and enter, and disguise with intent.

White was arrested Wednesday morning. At approximately 7:30 a.m. patrol officers located him in a vehicle in a parking lot in the 2600-block of Fifth Street. Members of the Greater Victoria Emergency Response Team, along with VicPD, advised White that he was under arrest. White, according to a police release, did not follow police directions and officers used a loud distraction device and pepper spray to remove him from the vehicle and arrest him.

He will be returned to the custody of the Correctional Service of Canada.
