A prisoner is on the loose after escaping custody from Manitoba Corrections Officers.

Last night (Wed) Dauphin RCMP got a report of a 34-year-old man running from officers as he was being treated at the Dauphin hospital, and it’s believed he had been picked up by a waiting vehicle.

Dustin Racette is 5-foot 9, 210 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes, and was last seen wearing grey sweat pants and a grey sweat shirt.

RCMP urge the public to not approach him, but instead contact the Dauphin Mounties or Crime Stoppers.
