The three men were part of a work crew in Alco Park at 249th St and Alouette Road, when they went missing.

The escapees are Douglas Erickson, 42, Ryan Plotnikoff, 30, and David Traill, 48.

Plotnikoff is a white male, 193 cm tall, weighing 95 kgs, with blue eyes and short brown hair. He has a Tasmanian devil tattoo on a finger of his right hand as well, and a maple leaf on a finger of his left hand.

All three were wearing orange prison work jump suits. The trio may have been picked up by a blue/grey sedan that was seen in the area.
