A month on and Tari police are still looking into the escape of 6 prisoners at the Tari police cells on the night of June 16th.
The 6 men broke out from the cells between 11pm and 2 in the morning.
Hela police commander Mark Yangen tells PNG Loop that initially police made province wide search but are now in liaison with the nearby highlands provinces to assist in the manhunt.
Yangen says that the two police officers who were on duty at the time of the escape have been administratively dealt with and are still on suspension.
At the time of the escape the station was not manned as both police men were out on the road.
The six men that escaped are considered dangerous and high risk with some being held for serious crimes ranging from wilful murder to armed robbery.
