A male prisoner who escaped from the Denham Town is back in police custody after he was found in Tivoli Gardens, Kingston, on Tuesday.

According to reporters, 27-year-old Kevin Thomas, also known as ‘Tattan’ or ‘Tafari’ of McKenzie Drive in Tivoli Gardens, escaped Lock-up in September 2016.

He had been charged with breaches of the Firearm Act. Thomas was reportedly found under the bridge about 1:00 pm with his hands and feet bound. The police were alerted and he was taken to hospital for treatment and is now under police guard.

The police are reminding the public that it is an offence to harbour a criminal and are commending the members of the public who assisted with the recapturing of this fugitive.
