Police still on manhunt of dangerous escapees

As of late Sunday three of the 18 escapees had been captured and are due to appear in court sometimes this week. All the three men were arrested on Sunday. The 18 fugitives were in detention at the Gerald Estates centre for illegal immigrants and escaped after destroying a fence with manhole cover. Since the escape, police officers have been redeployed in various parts of the city and its surroundings.

Soldiers and intelligence officers are also part of the search. Roadblocks have also been mounted in and around the city to enhance the search for the prison breakers. A helicopter has also been sparingly used in the manhunt.
