REGINA – Saskatchewan RCMP say an Amber Alert for two children believed to be in the company of a convicted sex offender has been extended into the U-S.

Police say the children along with their mother, are believed to be in South Dakota with 50-year-old Benjamin Martin Moore.

RCMP Chief Supt. Tyler Bates says police are very concerned for the well-being of the children, and feel they are in danger.

Bates says Moore has a history of sexual offences against children and was previously convicted of sexual interference with a minor.

He was being investigated by social services when he left with the children and their mother.

An arrest warrant has been issued for Moore, who now faces a charge of failing to report information within seven days of changing his address, which is required for convicted sex offenders.

Police issued the Amber Alert on Monday evening for the children, and late Tuesday said it was being extended into South Dakota.

Moore is described as being five-feet-10 inches tall and weighing 200 pounds with black hair.

Police also said Moore, the children and their mother may be travelling in a 2015 dark blue Chevrolet Equinox with the Alberta licence plate CGC 2492.

Court records show Moore was convicted in 2009 for sexual interference of a minor. He was sentenced in Regina provincial court to two years and two months in prison.

Records also say he served another three months in jail in 2011 after he was convicted of breaching a recognizance order.
