Last escaped migrant captured
PRINCE GEORGE
(CKNW/AM980) -- The last of seven Chinese migrants who
escaped custody in Prince George on Saturday has been
re-captured. The man went to the front door of a house
on the southern outskirts of Prince George on Monday
afternoon and asked for help. The homeowner called
police.
By the time they arrived, the migrant had already
hitched a ride with a passing motorist and was headed
back into the city. Police managed to stop the vehicle
and make an arrest, without incident.
Police say the man was very hungry, cold and
exhausted when apprehended. He's now back at the old
Prince George jail, where security has been
tightened.
