PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad – Police and immigration officials are search for five foreigners, including two Caribbean Community (CARICOM) nationals who escaped from the Immigration Detention Centre (IDC) in Wallerfield, east of here, earlier this week.

Police said that Krishna Bailey, a 22-year-old Jamaican national and 23-year-old Guyanese national, Ryan Badal, and three Venezuelan nationals: Rodney Noel Reyes Mendoza23, Jose Luis Ramirez Yanez, 27, and 32-year-old Luis Carlos Sifontes, escaped from the facility on Thursday.

The authorities are urging the public to assist in the re-capture of the detainees, adding that the “manhunt” is still ongoing.
