Seven inmates from the Groenpunt Maximum Correctional Facility in Vereeniging escaped in the early hours of this morning, with one being rearrested just a few hours after escaping.

Acting National Correctional Services Commissioner Zacharia Modise said the suspects have committed serious crimes and are regarded as dangerous.

Correctional Services Logan Maistry said it is alleged that about 02:00 this morning seven offenders escaped from the Groenpunt Correctional Centre.

Maistry said immediately all the relevant law enforcement agencies were notified and they began search operations which resulted in the rearrest of one of the offenders in the early hours of this morning.

“We are appealing to members of the public not to approach any of these inmates as they dangerous inmates” Maistry added.
