Police searching for escaped inmate in Grande Cache

A warrant has been issued for the arrest of a fugitive who escaped from Grande Cache Institution, a medium-security federal prison, while on a work assignment within the prison’s property.

On June 14th at 3:37 p.m. inmate Kevin Sider was reported to have escaped, and the Correctional Service of Canada says the Grande Cache RCMP detachment was immediately contacted.

Sider is described as a 44-year-old man with a fair complexion, blue eyes, and brown hair, standing five feet eleven inches tall, weighing 232 pounds, with a tattoo on his left leg.

The CSC says the inmate is currently serving a sentence of nine years, six months, and 18 days for eleven counts of Break and Enter and Commit, one count of Laundering Proceeds of Crime, six counts of Enter with Intent, Failure to Attend Court, and four counts of Failure to Comply with Order and Intent to Cause Explosion.

Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of Sider is asked to contact the RCMP.

Investigation is underway and the CSC says they are working with police to locate Sider as “quickly as possible.”
