YORKTON – On July 7 at approximately 1:00 a.m., Yorkton RCMP received a report that two adult males escaped from a correctional centre in Yorkton.
Yorkton RCMP have been working to locate the two males and are asking the public to report sightings and information on the whereabouts of 30-year-old Brett Schnieder and 22-year-old Chase Ahpay.
Schnieder and Ahpay are both wanted on warrant by Yorkton RCMP for being unlawfully at large.
