Nineteen criminals currently locked at the Buka Police cells in Bougainville escaped this morning during  one of Buka town’s blackouts which occurred at about 3AM this morning, the Dawn FM reports.

The Nineteen escaped through a small opening cut by the prisoners over the past weeks and they kept secret awaiting the right timing.

Commander of Bougainville Police Service, ACP PAUL KAMUAI told New Dawn FM that names will be released shortly however POLICE are appealing to the escapees to return voluntarily of face more charges once they are caught.

Superintendent PAUL KAMUAI also called on anyone that has seen these criminals to report them to the nearest Police station near you.

He said that these escapees cut open two IRON BARS on the roof to escape one by one in the dark.

New Dawn FM last week reported that Police are strict on visitors as some visitors were aiding their friends and relatives by supplying tools that they use to cut these iron Bars.
