At around 4:45 a.m. on May 11, 2012, RCMP District 4 South East
received a report from the Westmorland Institution in Dorchester that
two inmates escaped from their living quarters through a window. Guards
noticed the inmates were missing during the head count.
Missing is 27-year-old Bradley Barton of Pugwash, N.S. He is
described as being 185 centimetres (6 feet) tall, weighing 120 kilograms
(265 pounds) with a fair complexion, green eyes, and shaved brown hair.
Barton is serving a 3-year sentence involving property related
offences, an incident involving Canada Border Services, failing to
comply with various court orders, and driving while disqualified.
Also missing is 22-year old Justin Lavigine of Truro N.S. He is
described as being 178 centimetres (5' 8"), weighing 81 kg (179
pounds), with a fair complexion, hazel eyes, and short brown hair.
Lavigine is serving a 2-year sentence for property crimes and breach of
conditions.
Both men are suspected of stealing a white 2006 GMC pickup truck with
New Brunswick license plate number CNV 433. The truck has a fuel tank
in the box of the truck.
It's unknown which direction the men would have gone but there is a good possibility they are heading to Nova Scotia.
