Twenty-four-year-old Leon Price, of Onderneeming Sand Pit, Essequibo Coast, is on the run following an early-morning escape from the Suddie Police Station on Wednesday.

and accused thief Leon Price

The remand prisoner, who was on the run for three years before being nabbed in 2017, was set to make an appearance at Suddie Magistrate’s Court in connection with simple larceny and some three other offences.
However, Price evaded his court hearing and slipped through security at the Police Station in dramatic fashion. A credible source confirmed that he made his way through a hole dug at the holding facility. Police said that an investigation has been launched to determine just how the remand prisoner escaped lawful custody.
Investigators are working with a timeframe of 04:00h and 05:15h on Wednesday. It was in September last year that Price was charged with setting fire to the home of Daniel Stoll at Onderneeming Sand Pit.
