Another prisoner escaped from custody yesterday while being escorted to the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court.
This came on the heels of the escape of remand prisoner Frederick Peters from police custody last Tuesday and for whom the Guyana Police Force has launched a hunt.
The other individual police are now pursuing is Wayne Rogers, 25, who was charged with robbery with violence. He has no fixed place of abode and was being escorted to the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court when he escaped by jumping out of the vehicle. He was not handcuffed at the time.
He was initially arrested after assaulting a man and relieving him of cash. He used his first trip to the court as a means of escape.
Peters, 29, had escaped while being held at the Georgetown’s Magistrate’s Court lockups. He had been remanded to prison on that day and was in the lockups when he attacked a policeman and escaped. He was chased but the police failed to re-capture him.
The police are asking anyone with information that may help in the arrest of the fugitives to call 911, 225-6411, 226-6978, 227-6123, 227-1149, 226-7065 or any police station.
