Tue, November 5, 2024
Dangriga Police are in search of one man, after he escaped from his cell block at the Dangriga Police Station on Thursday October 31st just before 10:00am.

Police Constable Leonel Waight was instructed to escort 5 prisoners from the police station to the Belize Central prison. And so he took 21 year old Ornell Reyes out from his cell along with another detainee and handcuffed them both. PC Waight claims that he simply turned around to open another cell block and that's when Reyes ran off towards the back door, stomped it open and made his good escape.

And in an update, we have been informed that Reyes was detained on Saturday and taken back into custody.
