Johannesburg, China News Service, October 3 (Reporter Wang Xi) In response to the progress of the large-scale prison escape in South Africa's Eastern Cape Province, the South African police reported to the outside world on the evening of October 2 that after nearly two days of emergency search and arrest, two criminals have been arrested one after another.

In the early morning of September 30, a serious escape occurred in the Eastern Cape of South Africa, with a total of 12 criminals serving sentences successfully escaping. These criminals are detained by the police for serious crimes such as rape, theft and robbery.

According to the police investigation, 12 criminals escaped by cutting large holes in the walls of the cells and destroying the fence near the cells. Once these criminals with more serious criminal circumstances enter the ordinary community, it is very easy to cause security incidents, so this prison escape incident has triggered a general concern about the current security problems in South African society.

According to the South African police, after the escape, the South African police quickly launched a large-scale search operation. On October 1, South African police arrested two criminals in succession, one of whom was in the process of committing a burglary. South African police promised that the search would continue and would strive to arrest all escaped criminals in the shortest possible time.

In fact, since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic in South Africa, the social security problems in South Africa have become more and more serious. Five months ago, there was a serious escape in the South African province of KwaZulu Natal: on the way to the new prison, a criminal injured the prison guard in charge of the escort, and a total of 31 criminals escaped.
