The Saskatchewan man was wearing a yellow slicker coat, a white thermal undershirt and orange pants when he ran from his work crew just before noon on Friday.

Henricks has tattoos of a swastika and an iron cross on his right forearm.

Douglass says police do not believe the man has any family in the northern B.C. city.
