– three returned, two still at large

JUST one day after five juveniles were recaptured, they escaped for a second time from the New Opportunity Corps on Thursday.

The administrator for the correctional institution had put the five in special cells at the facility, after they were recently recaptured.

However, on Valentine’s night at around 23:20hrs, the students cut the bolts from their cells and escaped.

The young offenders are serving time for offences such as simple larceny, robbery with violence, unlawful wounding, burglary and wandering.

They were expected to be released from the facility in 2020. During the wee hours of Friday morning, three of the juveniles returned, leaving two of their colleagues at large. Police are searching for the remaining two.
