Canadian cops may be closing in on the Adolf Hitler-obsessed teenagers wanted in the murders of a young tourist couple and the slaying of a man on a campground.
Police said Sunday they were headed to York Landing in Manitoba after tipsters reported spotting accused serial killers Kam McLeod, 19, and Bryer Schmegelsky, 18, in the area.
“Multiple RCMP resources are being sent to York Landing, MB, to investigate a tip that the two suspects are possibly in, or near, the community,” Manitoba Royal Canadian Mounted Police tweeted. “A heavy police presence can be expected in the area. We will continue to update you as information becomes available.”
The fugitives were seen by members of the Bear Clan Patrol, an Indigenous group based in Winnipeg who have been helping members near Gillam, where the manhunt has been focused, according to The Guardian.
Crisis negotiators, tracker dogs and high-tech equipment including drones, were believed to be heading to York Landing Sunday evening.

Police have asked community members not to post photos or share the locations of officers on social media.
Leroy Constant, the chief of York Factory First Nation, called on all residents to “remain indoors with your doors locked. All vehicles should be parked” in a Facebook post.
Police haven’t said if the teens are armed but the couple, Chynna Deese, 24, of Charlotte, North Carolina, and her boyfriend, Lucas Fowler, 23, of Sydney, Australia, were both found shot on a remote highway earlier this month.
The bloodthirsty boys have also been charged with the death of 64-year-old University of British Columbia lecturer Leonard Dyck, whose body was found four days later near a burned-out car.
The manhunt for the Nazi-loving teens has spanned more than 3,000 miles.
