A warning from Vernon RCMP that a sex offender is at large.
Police say Harvy James Pelland, 71, is a high risk to re-offend. Pelland was convicted in a child pornography case and served 18 months in jail. "He is not to be near any parks, schools, playgrounds or swimming pools where anyone under the age of 17 might be expected to attend, and is not to be in the presence of anyone under 14 without written permission," says Vernon RCMP spokesman, Gordon Molendyk. He says Pelland was released from jail August 9 and was to report to Vernon as part of his release conditions. "He was caught the same day coming out of a park in White Rock and was arrested for breaching his conditions and returned to jail. On Aug 16, he appeared in Vernon court and was released on a four month conditional sentence. He was to reside at a local motel." Molendyk says Pelland reported to his probation officer as required on Wednesday, but failed to show up Thursday morning. Pelland is described as a white male, 5'11", 220 pounds. He has white hair, a moustache, beard and brown eyes. He is missing the tip of his index finger on his left.
