Pinehouse RCMP are looking for the public’s assistance in locating a prisoner who escaped the Besnard Correctional Camp before 10 p.m. Friday night.

Police believe 29 year-old Thomas Albert Hunt may be travelling to the Prince Albert area, although they can’t confirm if that is the case.

Hunt is described as around 5 foot 9, medium build with black hair and brown eyes. He has the word “respect” tattooed on his right forearm and “loyalty” on his right hand.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Hunt is asked to contact the Pinehouse RCMP or Crime Stoppers.
