Yorkton RCMP have issued a Canada-wide warrant for a man accused of not paying subcontractors for a construction project.

Police said Calgary-based GNRL Construction won a bid to renovate a large retail clothing store on Broadway Avenue in the eastern Saskatchewan city.

GNRL then hired local sub-contractors to complete the project but allegedly failed to pay them for the completed work, police said.

Mounties said they launched an investigation in December 2016 and issued the warrant on Wednesday for Christos Eutathios Fotopoulos, owner of the company.
