Over the weekend, the Estevan Police Service assisted the Saskatchewan Internet Child Exploitation Unit in an ongoing investigation, resulting in a 20-year-old Estevan male being charged with child pornography-related offences. 

Just after 12:45 p.m. today, Estevan RCMP reported that a male suspect escaped their custody at St. Joseph's Hospital. Authorities are saying they quickly found the suspect shortly after. 

He was first described as a 30-year-old Caucasian male with a shaved head and beard intact. He was wearing a green shirt and black sweatpants. There was heavy police presence around the area and the authorities are continuing their investigation. 

An Estevan RCMP officer confirmed to DiscoverEstevan that there is no longer a threat to the public.

Canola seed sizes are smaller than expected, and the durum wheat hasn't met the desired standard.
