Supervising Assistant Commissioner (AC) Crime and Intelligence Patricia Leta says the successful recapture of the prison escapee was done following assistance from members of the community who provided information to police.

“We are very grateful for the assistance, which has led to the recapture of the prison escapee. Police greatly appreciates your time and effort.”

“RSIPF appeals to members of the communities in and around Honiara to help your police. We need information on the location of the two remaining prison escapees. With your help, we should be able to recapture the two making our communities safe and secure. The two prison escapees still at large are a danger to our communities and business houses,” says AC Leta.
