KITCHENER -- Guelph police are warning the public about a high-risk offender that has been released into the community.

According to a news release, officials say Dominic Strickland-Prescod has been released from custody on bail on allegations of numerous serious Criminal Code offences that include human trafficking, sexual assault, firearms and breach of court offences.

Officials say Strickland-Prescod is currently living in the Guelph area and is considered a high-risk to reoffend.

In the news release police say that Strickland-Prescod is under an “intense” level of supervision and officers will continue to monitor and enforce his court-ordered conditions which include:
