Pelican Narrows RCMP are asking the public to remain vigilant and report any sightings of a wanted 28-year-old man.  

Solomon Custer is being sought by police following his escape from officers during his arrest earlier this week. 

On Feb. 17, RCMP executed a search warrant at a home in Pelican Narrows where Custer was arrested. He was wanted by police for charges including breach of court ordered conditions, assault, and robbery. The charges were laid in connection to two separate investigations in the community spanning the last two months. 

While an officer was escorting Custer to the police vehicle, he managed to escape and ran away. 

Pelican Narrows RCMP said they have been searching for him and checking places he is known to frequent, as well as following up on information received. Officers are continuing to search for him.
