THE seven juveniles who escaped from the New Opportunity Corps (NOC), at Onderneeming, were recaptured over the weekend.

All boys, they were hiding in the same Essequibo Coast area, since they were missed during a periodic count of the 109 inmates, including girls.

Although their movements are being monitored, officials admitted it is difficult to watch them all the time, due to a few security hiccups.

It was explained that all the detainees have a schedule that takes up most of their time but some are uncontrollable despite strict disciplinary actions.
