All five Cayo escapees back behind bars

They broke out of the San Ignacio jail, but one by one the five young men have all made their way back behind bars. The latest to return are thirteen year old Jodine Vidal and fourteen year old Jose Guzman, who were apprehended this morning by a mobile police patrol in San Ignacio. Yesterday eighteen year old Victor Castellanos and fourteen year old Christian Neal were picked up by Guatemalan police in Melchor de Mencos and handed over to Belizean authorities. They joined seventeen year old Darren Lanza who was brought in yesterday by his mother.

The prisoners, who were charged with burglary, were also awaiting a hearing on drug charges when they made their escape. The accused managed to break out of the San Ignacio police holding cell by removing a wooden beam to get into the attic where they were able to push open the zinc roof and jump down into the back of the compound.
