Two more escaped convicts captured

Tonight it appears that two of the prisoners who escaped from Hattieville early Monday morning, didn’t really want to go very far. Prison guards were on their way home just after 5:00 Monday evening and when their bus neared mile twelve and a half, officers spotted escaped prisoner Salva Carballo hiding in the foliage off the side of the road. Carballo was soon detained but the officers’ luck didn’t end there. Just 2 miles down the road, keen eyes picked up another fugitive of the law, prisoner Lionel Henry, who was also trying to bond with a bush. Both men are now back behind bars. The good guys might be stacking up points, but tonight 2 more prisoners from Monday’s escape are still on the run. 26-year old Alvin Lopez and 21-year old Ernesto Salazar are doing a better job at hiding. Meanwhile, 2 prisoners from the May 19th escape are also still on the lamb. They are 21-year old Samuel Reyes and 23-year old Wesley Emmanuel. Prison officials are advising the public not to pick up hitchhikers, especially on the Western Highway.
