Two Prince George parolees who were wanted on Canada-wide warrants have been found after one turned himself in and the other was arrested.

Monday morning Prince George RCMP issued a release to say Aaron Dueanne Conners and Blake Allan Morand were unlawfully at large,  "considered violent" and should not be approached.

Police believed Conners, 25, and Morand, 29, were traveling together, possibly to Alberta in a 2007 black Kia Spectra. But at 4 p.m. Morand turned himself in "without incident" and Conners was found at a home near Fifth Avenue and Tabor Boulevard around 5 p.m., where the vehicle they were looking for was sighted.

According the Moose Jaw Times Herald, in September 2013 Conners was sentenced to four years in prison. He pleaded guilty to break and enter, possession of a dangerous weapon, unlawful confinement and breach of probation in relation to an August incident that year. He was also sentenced for for threatening the same victim in July that year.

Court heard Conners broke into a woman's home while she and her four children were sleeping. The woman, who Conners had dated for a short time, awoke to him sitting in a chair holding a knife. When police arrived, the two were outside and Conners held the knife to her while threatening to kill her several times. Crisis negotiators talked to him for more than three hours before he dropped the knife and was arrested.
