Three Convicted Thieves Recaptured After Escaping Psychiatric Hospital in Errachidia

Luck was clearly not on their side. The three fugitives, who each took a different direction, were arrested by the police, after long chases through the streets and alleys of the city of Errachidia, reports Assabah.

The fugitives had all been convicted of theft. But the judge had ordered their admission to a psychiatric hospital after they showed signs of mental disorders. It was actually just a simple simulation to plan their escape, once they were admitted to a psychiatric hospital in Errachidia. This is what they tried to do, as soon as the conditions were met.

Thus, they jumped out of a window on the second night of their admission, then over the wall of the hospital. The guard who saw them raised the alarm. A strong mobilization of the security forces allowed them to be found quite quickly.
