Six Prisoners Remain on the Run!

Two weeks after they broke out of the Belize Central Prison, six of the escapees remain on the run. When we left you on Friday, there were seven fugitives on the loose but one more has been recaptured. Cops nabbed Elser Oseguera in Pomona Village sometime between Friday and Saturday morning. The six who are still on the run tonight are alleged break-out mastermind Carlos Montejo; Jaroud Lamb; Eutychus Nunez; Michael Faux; Enrique Martinez and Erwin Lanza. Commissioner of Police Chester Williams says that the search for the escapees is still underway and they hope to have them behind bars soon.

“Yes, we believe that Montejo is still in the country. As a matter of fact, we believe that all those who have not yet been captured are still in country. Over the weekend, we were able to capture one that’s Mr. Oseguera. He has been charged and should be back in prison. We continue to do our manhunt for the others and we are optimistic that with the help of the public, we are going to find them very soon.”
