Escapee rearrested, another three still on the run

Police are still searching for three of five awaiting trial prisoners who allegedly escaped from a Police van on the corner of Landdros Maré and Hospital streets last Wednesday.
Provincial Police Spokesperson Moatshe Ngoepe indicated that the suspects have been transported from Haenertsburg to Polokwane when they managed to escape from a moving Police vehicle. One of the suspects who was initially arrested for house robbery in Haenertsburg was rearrested within the vicinity shortly after the escape while a second suspect Abel Modiba (31) from Motjeteng Village near Lenyenye was re-arrested at Rwanda Village in the Nwamitwa area on Saturday.
Those still on the run have been identified as Thomas Nkuna (34), Jeffrey Nkuna (27) and George Nkuna (19). Investigations into the circumstances that resulted in the escape are still being investigated. A case of escaping from lawful custody is being registered.
Anyone with information can contact investigating officer Linky Mathebula on 064 756 8218 or report to the nearest Police station.
