A man who went missing from the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital at Colony Farm last week was located in Ontario.
Kurt Derksen, 58, was out on a day pass on Dec. 6 to visit his brother in Richmond. Less than a week later, Coquitlam RCMP received a call from Peel Regional Police in Ontario saying they had Derksen in custody.
"We're currently making arrangements for him to be transported back here," said Cpl. Jamie Chung. "It will be up to us to interview him and find out why he left and what transportation he used to make his way all the way out there."
