ONE DOWN, SIX TO GO
(Catherine Pope) - RCMP have now captured one of the Chinese migrants who escaped from the Prince George Regional Correctional Centre this weekend. Police with tracking dogs spent the day searching the thick bush around the prison after seven migrants fled the institution Saturday afternoon. At one point a helicopter with infra-red tracking was brought in to aid in the search. Late Sunday afternoon, one of the migrants was spotted hiding in the woods and taken into custody. That migrant says he doesn't know where the other six are, but that they are somewhere in the woods. Police are worried for the safety of the still missing migrants, as a black bear with cubs has been spotted in the area. Corrections BC is not commenting on how they managed to escape, but say there is no indication snakeheads were involved. They will launch a probe on Monday, and say they have tightened security.
