The Police need your help to find an escaped convict.
Hans Apelu was among four prisoners who ran away from prison on Saturday morning.
This was confirmed by Acting Police Commissioner, Fauono Talalelei Tapu.
“Apelu escaped from Tafaigata with three others who were also waiting for their court appearances,” he said.

“Two were found at Vaitele and returned to Tafaigata on Saturday while Apelu and Lima Lausefo of Satapuala were not found.”
Yesterday, Lausefo was captured and returned to Tafa’igata.
But Apelu remains at large.
“We are doing our best to locate Apelu,” said Fauono. “The police have been working around the clock to try and bring him in.”
Fauono is urging the community to help.
Asked if they have a photo of Apelu, he said no. It was also not possible to establish at press time what Apelu was jailed for.
“We ask members of the public to approach with caution and be mindful that he could react defensively,” he said.
Fauono said members of the public should contact the police on 22222 immediately, instead of trying to confront the prisoner.
