Minister of Home Affairs Robeson Benn has issued an appeal to prison escapees to surrender to avoid further grief.
“I wish to call on all persons who have escaped from lawful custody and who are now being sought after by the Guyana Police Force and other law enforcement agencies, to turn themselves in and by so doing, avoid any further grief with respect to escaping from the prisons,” Benn said in a statement on Thursday.
The Home Affairs Minister is also asking relatives of the escapees not to support them.
