The police report that during a routine check of the lock-up by officers on duty about 4:30 a.m., it was discovered that five prisoners had escaped by removing an extraction fan in the facility.
The police say a search was immediately launched and two of the escapees - who had jumped over a wall – were recaptured.
Investigators are appealing to anyone with information on the whereabouts of Agasious Robinson, Jubani Dyer and Colin Bailey, to contact the May Pen Criminal Investigation Branch at 876-832-2077, Crime Stop at 311 or the nearest police station.
Additionally, members of the public are reminded of their responsibility to report the whereabouts of fugitives as it is a criminal offence to harbour them.
