A man was granted bail again after he was arrested for an alleged child luring attempt in a Steveston park and later for allegedly breaching his bail conditions.
Peter Andrew Wehren, 32, appeared in person in Richmond Provincial Court late Monday morning after his arrest on Sunday, March 3.
A publication ban is in place to protect the identities of victims and witnesses of the case.
Wehren was taken into custody on Sunday for two new counts related to allegedly breaching his bail conditions that forbade him from being at any public parks and being intoxicated in public.
Richmond Provincial Court Judge Bonnie Craig heard submissions from the prosecution and defence and granted Wehren's release with additional conditions.
Wehren is not allowed to possess or consume alcohol and must attend any programming or counselling as directed by his bail supervisor.
These conditions are in addition to previous ones that include no contact with persons related to the case, no contact with persons under 16 years old and no attending public parks, swimming pools and other places where persons under 16 years old are known to him.
Craig also imposed a bail of $500 without deposit and without surety. If Wehren breaches his bail conditions, he will be liable to pay $500 in addition to facing the risk of being taken into custody.
Wehren's next appearance in Richmond Provincial Court is scheduled for April 9.
