The North West Police have launched a manhunt for two awaiting trial detainees who escaped from legal custody between Monday evening, June 12, and Tuesday morning, June 13, 2023.

“The pair escaped through the roof after cutting holding cell’s burglar doors.” added Mokgeabone
The escape’s circumstances are still the subject of investigation.
Since the escapees are thought to be dangerous, the community is being asked not to try to catch them but to call the nearest police station instead.
On the other hand, the police demand any individual who might have information with respect to their whereabouts to call the Investigating Officer, Detective Captain Johannes Botes on 082 416 0961 or call the South African Police Service (SAPS) Crime Stop on 08600 10111. Anonymous tip-offs can also be communicated through MySAPS App.
