It is critical that residents of York Landing remain vigilant & stay indoors as much as possible with their doors locked, & to report anything suspicious by calling their local police immediately.
RCMP 'unable to substantiate' tip that 2 suspects spotted in Manitoba community of York Landing. Say search has been 'thorough and exhaustive.' Police say resources will stay in the area while the suspects remain at large.
