Wanted in Saskatchewan: 10 people being hunted by RCMP in May

Saskatchewan RCMP’s wanted list for May includes people wanted for human trafficking, sexual assault with a weapon, unlawful confinement, aggravated assault and robbery with a firearm.

The RCMP said it publishes the list based on people with active warrants who were last known to be living in Saskatchewan, selected based on a review of their current criminal charges and the potential harm they present to communities in the province.

People on the list are chosen by a data-driven scoring system using the Crime Severity Index, a Statistics Canada measurement that looks at both the number and the relative severity of crimes.

Factors such as age, gender, race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, religion, sexuality or disability of an offender are not considered in the scoring process, RCMP said.

RCMP releases this list every month to encourage tips and information to support Saskatchewan RCMP investigations and to lead to the arrest of these people.

Police warned that people should not attempt to contact, approach or apprehend any of the people on the list. If you recognize anyone and have information regarding their whereabouts, activities or associations, call 310-RCMP (310-7257), or 911 in an emergency.
