RCMP are searching for a man who escaped police custody in Biggar and was later charged in connection with the theft of a motorcycle that same day.
34-year-old Joshua Meszaros fled around 3 p.m. Wednesday while being transferred from the Biggar RCMP detachment into a police vehicle. He had been arrested earlier that day for allegedly breaching a release-order condition and driving while prohibited.
Officers searched for Meszaros with help from Saskatchewan RCMP Police Dog Services and a remotely piloted aircraft system but did not find him.
About two hours after the escape, RCMP received a report that a motorcycle had been stolen from a residence in the town. Police said their investigation determined the theft occurred around 5 p.m.
