A massive police man hunt is currently underway after six prisoners awaiting trial, escaped from the Bellville Magistrates Court yesterday afternoon.
The drama unfolded after an inspector and constable accompanied the suspects from one court cell to another. The suspects then allegedly assaulted the inspector and fled on foot.
Police spokesperson Bernadine Steyn says “the inspector was taken to a nearby hospital for medical attention after which he was released”.
She added that “the suspects are still at large”.
The six suspects and their crimes include Vicoleen Abrahams and Ashley Daniels, armed robbery; Sharudin Ahmes and Faizel Shaboedine, housebreaking and theft; Ismail Paulse, rape and Warren Williams theft.
The escapees are all considered to be dangerous.
Steyn says "we request the public not to apprehend them but instead to contact their nearest police station or Crime Stop on 08600 10 111”.
