A hunt is underway for remanded prisoner Leroy Graham, who escaped from the Lusignan Prison during the wee hours of yesterday morning.
Director of Prisons Gladwin Samuels confirmed that Graham, 21, of Middle Walk, Buxton, East Coast Demerara (ECD) made good his escape at approximately 1.30 am by scaling the southern fence of the facility.
Graham was admitted to prison on August 20, 2020 after he was charged with armed robbery.
According to Samuels, investigations revealed that Graham managed to escape after he broke out of a section of the burnt Lusignan prison where he was being housed for safety purposes.
“So far, evidence suggests that he jumped the southern fence and headed in the direction of the backlands,” Samuels said.
A Joint Services search is currently ongoing.
Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to contact the Lusignan Operations Room on telephone number 220 4173 or the nearest Police Station.
