UPDATE: The Saskatchewan RCMP Dangerous Person Alert has been cancelled.
RCMP said both Xander Tardiff and Kelly Castel have been located and arrested. Both are now in police custody.
Original story:
The Manitoba RCMP issued a dangerous persons alert Monday night for residents in the The Pas and Flin Flon areas with a pair of inmates at large after escaping The Pas Correctional Centre.
And at 11:30 p.m. Monday the Saskatchewan RCMP extended the dangerous persons alert to the Cumberland House, Sask. area.
The escaped inmates are:
· Xander William Tardiff, 19, is 5’11”, and weighs 180 lbs.
· Kelly John Castel, 21, is 5’09”, and weighs 135 lbs.
You're asked to immediately call The Pas RCMP at 204-627-6200 if you have information on their whereabouts.
Manitoba authorities said the men were considered dangerous and people around Flin Flon and The Pas should lock their doors and windows.
The province of Manitoba says the jail in The Pas is a minimum, medium, and maximum-security facility.
