Currently 25 escapees have been arrested and charged and returned to Buimo.

Two were killed during a dispute at Busu compound at the Backroad Malahang while one escapee who was critically shot is still at Angau hospital.

The wounded escapee was in the process of robbing vehicles when he was intercepted by a special operations unit.

Lae Metropolitan Police Commander Anthony Wagambie junior says that all personnel have been utilised to do follow ups on outstanding cases.

On Tuesday (March 22^nd) five suspects armed with guns and bushknives entered the hypermart and  made off with K26, 451.02 in cash.

The men managed to get away in a dark blue 10-seater and drove to the sea front where they got away on a waiting boat.

However, police received a tip off and picked up a suspect, believed to be an insider, from his residence.

Later that day police on a tip-off picked up eight men who were under the influence of liquor at Three-Mile.

The main suspect Wagambie Jnr says was buying beer for the group.

The escapee identified as Brendon Kinjik was caught by police while attempting to hold up a vehicle along the back road of Malahang in Lae.

Kinjik was armed with a homemade gun and several rounds of 9 mm bullets.

Lae Metropolitan Police Commander Anthony Wagambie Jnr informed PNG Loop that Kinjik was shot in his buttock area by police while attempting to escape.

Wagambie Jnr  says that he has been wanted by police for a string of robberies along the back road area since his escape from Buimo.

The case, which took place on October 16^th last year, involved a drunk driver that ran his car off the road and killed four girls.

Anthony Wagambie Jnr in a statement wanted to clarify reports that the police did not give in the hand up brief (HUB) to the public prosecutors.

He also wanted to state that the defendant in the case was not acquitted rather, the matter was struck out, meaning that the case is still open.
