Flee during hike
on Seymour

FOUR JUVENILES who escaped during an

outing of Willingden Detentional

Centre

prisoners, have so far managed to elude police.

The four, two males and
two females, ran away from
a corrections officer while
the group was hiking on
Mount Seymour as part of
the correctional facilities’
recréation program
Wednesday.

Search and rescue crews
attempted to track down the
quartet Wednesday night but
had to hak their search
because of darkness.

Searchers went back to the
mountain Thursday and
continued the search, pick-
ing up the trail of the four as
uwoled to a steep, rocky area
They finally determined that
the four had left the moun
tain and disappeared into the
urban area

There had been concern
that the escape could have
ended tn injury for the four
who, according to police,
were not properly dressed
for a night on the mountain

To press time, the four
had not been recaptured by
police.

The incident is the fourth
of the year on the North
Shore involving juvenile
escapees.

Earher this year, North
Vancouver RCMP twice
recaptured the same group
of three juveniles who had
escaped from a_ Langley
detention home after being
sentenced for break-ins here

Earlier this month, West
Vancouver police used a
tracking dog to catch up to
three juveniles wandering in
the Seaview Highway areca

The incidents have taised
growing concern over the
ease Of escape from juvenile
detention facilities, despite
the fact most of the young
escapees are not considered
dangerous
