Early this morning, several inmates made a break for it from the Orleans Parish Justice Center, according to a social media alert from the St. Charles Parish Sheriff's Office. While the escaped individuals have no known links to St. Charles Parish, the Sheriff's Office is calling on residents to stay alert. The cautionary note suggests that the escapees, considered violent criminals, may engage in carjackings or vehicle thefts in their bid to evade capture.
The Sheriff's Office is asking anyone who spots the escapees to act immediately. "If you see any individuals pictured, please contact the sheriff's office by dialing 911 or 985-783-6807," the post reads. The statement comes with a clear urgency, a reminder of the possible danger posed to the community.
Details on how the inmates managed to escape or on the exact number of individuals still at large were not disclosed, leaving unanswered questions about the circumstances surrounding the incident.
