Almost a week after a brazen hijacking attempt, allegedly by five AK47-wielding gunmen, saw 45 inmates, who were being transported from New Prison to the Pietermaritzburg Magistrate’s Court, was ambushed, police are still searching for 14 prisoners who escaped.
On Monday night, police captured 19-year-old Talent Mncube, who is up on charges of murder, attempted murder and aggravated assault in the Pietermaritzburg area.
Police spokesperson Brigadier Jay Naicker confirmed that 14 prisoners were at large by Tuesday at noon.
Anyone who may have information on their whereabouts is requested to contact Brigadier Hlongwane at 079 684 9114 or Crime Stop at 08600 10111.
