TORONTO — Ontario Provincial Police are asking the public for help in finding a federal offender wanted for breaching his parole.

Police issued a Canada-wide warrant Monday for Ryan Hamelin, who they say is serving a one-month, 29-day sentence for criminal harassment.

They say Hamelin is known to frequent Barrie, Ont., and the Greater Toronto Area, but he may also attempt to flee to Alberta.

The 36-year-old is described as being five feet eight inches, 170 pounds with hazel eyes and brown hair.
