One week after being on the run from law enforcement officials, two Jamaican
women remain at large and the authorities are making another appeal for help with
their recapture.
Both officials at the Immigration Department and the police CID have said they are
intensifying the search for the women but so far they have come up emptyhanded.
“We are following up on a number of leads that we have received from members
of the public regarding the two fugitives, but they remain at large up to this time,”
a senior official of the Immigration Department tells Point Express newspaper.
The women – Donnalie Samantha Salmon and Tiffanie Stephanie Howell – were
being held at the Detention Centre of the Immigration Department awaiting
deportation when they escaped through a window on Saturday night and have not
been seen since.
A Wanted Bulletin was issued by the department earlier in the week asking
members of the public to assist with the recapture of the two. Salmon was among
three persons intercepted in a motor vehicle with a firearm and ammunition. She
was handed over to Immigration for deportation to her native Jamaica.
Howell arrived last Thursday n a flight from Jamaica and was denied entry. She
was being housed at the Detention Centre awaiting the next flight to Jamaica (on
Sunday) to be returned.
Attorney General Sir Steadroy Benjamin has issued a warning to members of the
public to desist from providing material or other assistance to the fugitives as they
continue to elude recapture.
