ONE of the four men, who recently escaped from the Lethem Police Station, was, on Thursday, returned to police by his father.
Clarence Rodney was brought to the police by his father, Clive King. The allegation of escaping from police custody was put to him and he responded, “I do not have nothing to say.” The police are currently on the hunt for Jack King Paul, 36, of Kwatamang Village, North Rupununi; Venezuelan, Yon Rogg Hernandez, 26, called “John Roberts” of Tabatinga, Lethem; and Venezuelan Xarlos Edwards Thomas, 18, of Tabatinga, Lethem.
The incident occurred on February 26, between 00:05hrs and 07:00hrs at the Lethem Police Station lockup. One prisoner of Tabatinga, Lethem, Central Rupununi, who is in custody for assault, alerted ranks of the absence of the prisoners from the lockup.
Police on discovering the men missing, noted that a metal rod, measuring one foot, was found on the eastern side of the lockup next to a ‘dug hole’ in the ground, measuring three feet in width, length and depth and had an exit point. The surface of the ‘dug hole’ had a two-inch layer of concrete with red sand beneath. Efforts are being made to locate the prisoners as investigation continues.
