He is considered dangerous because of the violent crimes of which he was convicted.

The youth was on escorted leave with two custody workers to attend a funeral on the Red Pheasant First Nation.

“We’ll do an internal investigation to determine what’s occurred, determine how he was able to escape, you know, was policy followed, should policy be followed,” Drew Wilby with the Ministry of Corrections explained. “Our job now is to investigate whether those were followed, to investigate whether our policies were strong enough to make sure this youth was secure on that escorted leave and if there are areas that we could strengthen we will look to do so.”

Anyone with information as to the whereabouts of the youth should contact the RCMP, local police service or 911 immediately.
