PENAMPANG: Police here have apprehended the last prisoner who escaped from the Native Court Training Centre quarantine centre on Sunday.
Mohd Rahman Basir, 24, was caught in Papar about 2.20pm on Monday after police received public information, said Penampang district police chief DSP Mohd Haris Haji Ibrahim.
Mohd Rahman was the last inmate recaptured following his escape with three others from the quarantine centre two days ago.
“The Penampang district police would like to express our gratitude to the public and all parties that are involved in channeling the information until the suspect was caught,” he said.
He also urged members of the public who have had close contact or have met with the four escapees to undergo Covid-19 screening at the nearest clinics to avoid formation of new clusters in the community.
