14 inmates escape Ruacana police custody

Fourteen inmates escaped from the Ruacana Police Station holding cells on Monday.

This is according to a report by Omusati regional commander commissioner Ismael Basson.

He says the suspects managed to open an unlocked burglar door separating the cell area from a courtroom corridor.

They then forced entry into the courtroom by breaking the door.

Once inside, the inmates opened a window and escaped, Basson says.

“All 14 individuals were known suspects,” he says.

Details about the inmates’ original charges have not been released.
