Police capture final fugitive who escaped from custody at Wynberg court

Police have made a breakthrough in the hunt for fugitives who fled police custody in Wynberg.

Four suspects escaped from the Wynberg Magistrates Court after an appearance two weeks ago.

Police managed to arrest three of the men.

The last suspect, Ismail George, was arrested in Mitchells Plain on Sunday.

Police spokesperson, Wesley Twigg, said that George would appear in court on Monday.
 
"The suspects between the ages of 22 and 33 appeared in court on charges of illegal possession of firearms, housebreaking, and a warrant of arrest. They were all remanded in custody after their court appearances."
