FIVE awaiting trial detainees escaped from the Zeerust Police Station on Sunday at around 10:30am, says the North West police spokesperson, Brig Sabata Mokgwabone. Mokgwabone said the escapees, Joshua Sibanda (39), Amogelang Motsiane (36), Tshepiso Kwenampe (22), Bengu Hlanganane (31) and Enoch Lebeloane (46) allegedly overpowered a police officer at Zeerust Police Station holding cells, then took cells key and ultimately escaped.
“At the time of escape, the detainees were among others, facing charges of house robbery, rape, attempted murder, business robbery and aggravated robbery. None of the escapees has been re-arrested and members of the community are urged not to attempt to re-arrest them, but rather call the nearest police station as the escapees are presumed to be dangerous.
“Alternatively, the Investigating Officer, Captain Basimane Molefe can be contacted on 076 510 8285. Anonymous tip-offs can also be communicated via MySAPS App or by calling Crime Stop number: 08600 10111,” Mokgwabone said.
