The police have captured two more prisoners after a total of nine men escaped from the Constant Spring Police Station in St. Andrew early Tuesday morning.
The prisoners have been identified as 19-year-old Richard Bishop and 23-year-old Talik Chambers. Bishop was charged with burglary and larceny, while Chambers was charged with identity theft.
As one of the nine men who fled the lock-up was captured shortly after in Cassava Piece, six remain on the run from the authorities. According to reports, the prisoners, some of whom had been charged for committing multiple violent offences, had escaped the police station by cutting through a grill and a metal door.
The Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) is urging anyone with information about the escapees’ current location to contact the authorities. The JCF is also advising the public that harbouring a fugitive is a criminal offence.
