Police are responding to a tip that two men fitting the descriptions of Bryer Schmegelsky, 18, and Kam McLeod, 19 were spotted in the community.
The men are being sought in connection with three homicides in B.C.
RCMP warned a heavy police presence could be expected in the area.
York Landing is nearly 1,000 kilometres north of Winnipeg and about 90 kilometres by air southwest of Gillam, Man., where RCMP have been focusing their efforts with assistance from the Canadian military.
A member of Winnipeg's Bear Clan patrol group made the sighting around 4:15 p.m. CT after spotting what he believed to be the men near the landfill and water-treatment plant in York Factory.
'They fit the description'
The area isn't one that locals frequent and there were bears around, said Trevor Bighetty.
Bighetty told CBC News he and his partner spotted two "tall, slender individuals" moving very quickly — possibly spooked by the sound of the truck Bighetty was in.
"They fit the description of what was given in the RCMP report," Bighetty said. "It didn't click right away, it took a few moments."
He couldn't tell what the two figures were up to. "
kind of figured they were scavenging or something."
