    Vancouver police say an Ontario man wanted for sex offences in the Toronto area has been arrested.
     
     
    Const. Jason Doucette says 36-year-old Marcel Lawson, who also uses the name Marc, is in custody after being arrested late Wednesday in downtown Vancouver.
     
     
    Doucette says a member of the public recognized Lawson, who has several distinctive tattoos, including the word "Mathu" on his forearm.
     
     
    Vancouver police issued a warning Tuesday advising residents to call 911 if he was spotted.
     
     
    Lawson is wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for breaching a long-term supervision order related to convictions for sexual assault and sexual interference.
     
     
    When he disappeared, Ontario Provincial Police said Lawson was known to visit the cities of Saskatoon and Vancouver.
