Quebec provincial police say one of the province’s top 10 most wanted criminals has been arrested after he escaped from a minimum security federal detention centre in May.

Police say Yacine Zouaoui, 32, was apprehended in Budapest, Hungary on Tuesday and extradition procedures are underway to bring him back to Canada.
