“Police members who were on duty heard a noise from the cells where six prisoners were locked, on the arrival on cells they noticed that the cells were broken and only three prisoners were left inside and the other three prisoners were nowhere to be found,” Brig Leonard Hlathi, a provincial police spokesperson told WITBANK NEWS.
An unknown object was used to remove the bricks to make a hole through which they used to escape.
