Prisoner escapes from Rose Hall Outpost

May 24, 2010 News

ROSE HALL TOWN, CORENTYNE – A Police Constable from the Rose Hall Town Police Outpost is now under close arrest while the hunt is on for an escaped prisoner.
According to information received from Division ‘B’ of the Guyana Police Force, prisoner 36-year old David Andrews of Lot 155 Williamsburg Squatting Area, Corentyne was discovered missing about 04:30 hours yesterday while the said Constable was making his rounds.
It is suspected that the prisoner escaped sometime between 01:00 and 04:30 hours yesterday. When the Constable, who was the lone rank on the shift, made his last round at about 01:00 hour, the cell appeared to be intact. The police source said that at the time there were four prisoners at the Rose Hall Town Police Outpost, including two juveniles with only the one rank.
David Andrews was one the five men who were detained on Thursday when a police mobile patrol, operating in the Rose Hall Town area, intercepted a car, HB 7759, in the vicinity of Cemetery Road, Rose Hall about 06:15 hours.
A random search of the vehicle unearthed an unlicensed .38 revolver, two toque masks with eye-holes and six live 9mm rounds of ammunition. Two of the men in the car are from Williamsburg, two from Fyrish and the other is from Auchlyne Village on the Corentyne. According to the source, after being interrogated, one of the suspects who hails from Williamsburg, allegedly claimed ownership of the items. He reportedly confessed to police that they were heading to an Alness Village destination to commit a robbery.
Two of the five men are known to police, one of whom is wanted for questioning in connection with an armed robbery committed on the Sattaur Supermarket in East Canje earlier this year.
Of the five arrested, two were placed at the Rose Hall Town Police Outpost while their accomplices are being kept at other locations. It is not clear how David Andrews made his escape from the cell and the building. The source declined to say whether the cell was opened from the outside or inside. At the time, Andrews was in a cell with the driver of the car, HB 7759, and when the discovery was made, the other prisoner (driver) appeared to be asleep. The cell is situated within the kitchen area of the one-flat building.
