the knowledge of the officers on duty.

police with the help of residents, however,
by morning, police revealed they had
escaped from their cell.
Residents of the neighborhood are in shock
at the gross incompetence and are
speculating that the officers on duty that
day were either sleeping, drunk, or they
were not telling the entire truth, P.M. Express
reports.
Officers woke on the morning after the
criminals were taken into custody to notice
that the roof of the cell they were in had
been damaged and removed and the
suspects were no longer in there.

the suspects who were said to be at large.
