Limpopo police have released the photos of three men who escaped from custody at the Nebo Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday, asking the public for their help to rearrest them, reports Polokwane Review.

Police spokesperson Colonel Malesela Ledwaba says four suspects escaped from custody while being transported from the court cells to a police vehicle. The escapees were part of a group of eight trial-awaiting prisoners who had to be transported back to the Masemola police station after their court appearances.

Authorities have since managed to re-arrest one of the escapees. Sithole Courage Chingwedere (19) was captured on the same day of his alleged escape after information led police to Mabintane Village.

Three men, two of them linked to six charges of house robberies in the Masemola area, remain at large.

They are:

• Mahlekete Honest (33)
• Sello Madhodha (18)
• Noel Shabangu (40)

If you have information about their whereabouts, contact:

• Nebo Detective Commander, Lieutenant Colonel Goodhope Makofane (072 111 2102)
•  Your nearest police station
