La Ronge RCMP are asking for the public’s help in locating two men who escaped from police custody after making an appearance in the community’s courthouse yesterday.
The Mounties say 26-year-old Tom Floyd Cook of La Ronge and 33-year-old Gilbert Frederick Robillard of Black Lake were being escorted from the La Ronge courthouse with other prisoners when they fled on foot.
A ground search was conducted in some nearby woods and the community at large, but it was unsuccessful.
Both were in court on separate “outstanding criminal and drug matters”.
La Ronge RCMP are warning the public to “use caution” if they come across the suspects.
