Four dug hole, and escaped from Lethem lockup
Escaped, Clarence Rodney.
Yon Rogg Hernandez called ‘John Roberts’
Kaieteur News – Four men reportedly escaped yesterday from the Lethem Police Station lockup using an underground hole that they dug.
According to the police, the escaped men were identified as: Jack King Paul, 36, of Kwatamang Village, North Rupununi; Clarence Rodney, 20, of Lethem, Central Rupununi; Yon Rogg Hernandez, 26, a Venezuelan National, called ‘John Roberts,’ of Tabatinga, Lethem and Xarlos Edwards Thomas, 18, a Venezuelan National, of Tabatinga, Lethem.
The four men reportedly escaped between 00:05 hrs. and 07:00 hrs. yesterday morning.
The report stated that around 07:00 hrs., a prisoner of Tabatinga, Lethem, who is in custody for assault, alerted the ranks of the absence of the prisoners.
When the ranks visited the scene, they observed a metal rod on the eastern side of the lockup near a dug hole with an exit point measuring 3ft. in width, length and depth. The police reported that the dug hole has a 2-inch layer of concrete with red sand beneath.
A manhunt has since been launched to locate the four escaped prisoners, and anyone with information on the whereabouts of the four prisoners is asked to notify the nearest police station.
