(Linton Bailey)
One of the seven men who escaped the Oracabessa Police Station was recaptured on Thursday, January 4.
The seven escaped Thursday, December 21, two weeks ago. According to police, the inmates were on serious charges ranging from rape to murder.
He is twenty-two-year-old Linton Bailey of Jacks River, St. Mary.
Bailey was among seven prisoners who had escaped from the Oracabessa Lock-Up two weeks ago.
According to the Port Maria police, Bailey, who escaped custody on Thursday, December 21, 2023, was captured between 9:50 and 10:30 a.m. during an operation in the Wilderness community, also in the parish.
Wilderness is an area going east from Oracabessa/Race Course toward Galina. It is heavily overgrown with very few houses.
In a release Thursday, the police said Bailey was found in a vegetated area of the community and taken back into custody.
The manhunt is still underway for the six remaining jailbreakers who are still on the run.
The police are reminding citizens that it is an offence to harbour a fugitive, and persons with information that can assist in locating them are being encouraged to contact the Oracabessa Police
at 876-726-0698, Crime Stop at 311, the JCF tip line at 811, or the nearest police station.
