Update Provided On Wanted B.C. Teens

, , ,

Local residents are still being asked to be vigilant as police continue to track down two teens wanted on a Canada-wide warrant.

Police believe Kam McLeod and Bryer Schmegelsky shot and killed an Australia man and his American girlfriend in British Columbia.

The Vancouver Island teens have also been formally charged in the slaying of another man in Northern B.C.

They were last seen in the northern Town of Gillam, Manitoba, about 1,000-kilometres north of Winnipeg.

The community is now on high alert and basically involved in a police lock-down.

RCMP say their vehicle had been recovered in the area on Monday, after officers received a report of a vehicle fire.

Ontario Provincial Police warn the two may be trying to make their way into our province.

There are no actual confirmed reports of them being in our area but police ask that you be on the lookout.

If you spot them, do not approach.

Call 911 immediately or your local police service.
