Laguna police struggle to recapture 4 escaped inmates
Two other inmates who fled the Laguna Provincial Jail are recaptured in Cavite

MANILA, Philippines – Cops from Laguna have yet to find 4 escapees after a provincial jailbreak.

According to a police report, the escape happened at the Laguna Provincial Jail at around 11 am last Friday, October 27, when a prisoner managed to sneak in a gun and shot a jail guard multiple times. This allowed him and his cellmates to escape.

They fled onboard a maroon Toyota Revo, police said. A total of 6 inmates were able to flee at the time:

  1. Rhandel Vale – detained for murder
  2. Rio Mahilom – detained for illegal possession of firearms and explosives
  3. Rayman Raymundo – detained for murder
  4. Teddy Bucal – detained for murder
  5. Romel Macaraig – detained for car theft
  6. Verjust Dizon – detained for trading illegal drugs

Vale and Macaraig have since been recaptured. They were nabbed in Imus, in the neighboring province of Cavite, on Tuesday, October 31.

According to Philippine National Police (PNP) Calabarzon spokesperson Senior Inspector Chitadel Gaoiran, cops have set up multiple road checkpoints to make sure that the suspects do not go farther.

“Continuous po ang manhunt (The manhunt is continuous),” Gaoiran told Rappler in a text message. – Rappler.com
