Registered sex offender Robert Crilly has been caught by police.

The tattooed 36-year-old was arrested in Coburg North on Sunday afternoon - five days after police revealed he was wanted.

Crilly was last seen by police in December 2020 when he was served with a court order.

He was wanted for failing to comply with his reporting obligations.

Crilly was convicted in 2004 for sex crimes.

He also evaded police in 2019, which prompted a statewide manhunt.

He was arrested in Hadfield on October 7, 2019 for not complying with his reporting obligations.
