Saskatchewan RCMP’s WEST Working to Locate Escaped Prisoner

by RCMP

Saskatchewan RCMP’s Prince Albert Warrant Enforcement and Suppression Team (WEST) is actively working to locate 29-year-old Glen Halkett, who escaped from the Prince Albert Penitentiary on December 31, 2024.

After fleeing from police on January 1, 2025, Halkett is charged with:
– one count, flight from peace officer, Section 320.17, Criminal Code;
– one count, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, Section 320.13(1), Criminal Code; and
– one count, drive while prohibited, Section 320.16, Criminal Code.

He was previously charged with one count of escaping lawful custody, Section 145(1), Criminal Code and one count, being unlawfully at large, Section 145(1), Criminal Code, in relation to the escape from the penitentiary. The Correctional Service of Canada media release on Halkett’s escape is available here – https://www.canada.ca/en/correctional-service/news/2025/01/escape-from-saskatchewan-penitentiary-minimum-security-unit.html

Halkett is described as 5’8″ and 168 pounds with brown eyes and black hair. He has a tattoo on his neck and under his left eye. A photo is attached but officers report his hair is longer than is depicted in it.

If you see Halkett, do not approach him. Report sightings and information to police immediately. Reach your local RCMP detachment by dialling 310-RCMP. Information can also be submitted anonymously by contacting Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or www.saskcrimestoppers.com.
