The T&T Po­lice Ser­vice says an All-Points Bul­letin has been is­sued for eight in­mates who es­caped from the Re­mand Yard at Gold­en Grove Prison in Arou­ca on Tues­day night.

Prison sources told Guardian Me­dia the men es­caped through a hole in the wall from their cell in the south up­per block of the prison. They were dis­cov­ered miss­ing at 8.40 am to­day.

The es­capees have been iden­ti­fied as Ker­ry Valen­ti­no, At­i­ba Sealey, Joshua Janet, Olatun­ji Den­bow, Kyle Bel­grave, Stephen Austin, Brent John­son and Mikhale Mo­hammed.

Sources say there is on­go­ing con­struc­tion at the Re­mand Yard in which new toi­lets are be­ing in­stalled in cells.

The men, who were all in the same cell, are fac­ing charges rang­ing from mur­der to gun-re­lat­ed of­fences. They are con­sid­ered armed and dan­ger­ous.

Mem­bers of the pub­lic have been asked to cir­cu­late the pho­tos pro­vid­ed and to con­tact the near­est po­lice sta­tion of they see the es­capees, or have any in­for­ma­tion that will lead to their re­cap­ture.
