Share

The Manitoba RCMP detachment have released surveillance footage of Kam McLeod and Bryer Schmegelsky taken at a store in Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan.

The video, released by police on Friday, shows the pair walking through the aisles of a Co-op store and then exiting the store.

The pair are wanted in the deaths of three people in Northern British Columbia.

Over the next 72 hours, investigators will conduct door-to-door canvases in the Town of Gillam and Fox Lake Cree Nation, in hopes of generating new tips and information.

Police are warning the public that both men may have changed their appearance and someone in the community of Gillam may have inadvertently assisted the suspects in leaving the area by someone that was not aware of who they were.

Police are asking for that person or persons to come forward.

“It is crucial for you call police immediately,” police stated in a tweet.

RCMP said they were spotted in Meadow Lake on Sunday, before last being seen in Gillam on Monday.
