RCMP searching for man who escaped police during raid

Feb 19, 2026 | 10:44 AM

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. 

Custer is described as around 5’11” and 155lbs with black hair and brown eyes. He has a teardrop and cross tattoos on his face and a design across his neck. He was last seen in dark coloured shirt and joggers. His current whereabouts are unknown. 

Anyone with information, or who knows where Solomon Custer is, is urged to contact police at 310-RCMP (7267) or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
