More than a year after he escaped from police custody, remanded inmate Leon Price, was on Mon-day spotted in the Onderneeming Sandpit area, but managed to escape following an exchange of gunfire with the police.
Stabroek News was reliably informed that acting on intelligence received, a team of officers attached to the Anti-crime patrol, around 1 pm Monday, went to the Sandpit area where Price was hiding.
Upon seeing the ranks, Price, who was armed, discharged several rounds in the ranks’ direction.
