A RCIPS spokesperson has confirmed escaped prisoner Steve Manderson has been caught.

“Steve Manderson, one of the three men who escaped from HMP Northward two weeks ago, is now in police custody,” the spokesperson said.

“He was arrested following a joint operation in Frank Sound around 4.50 a.m. this morning [Wednesday 28 August] involving police and prison staff. Marcus Manderson is now the only one of the three escapees who remains at large.”

His son, Marcus, remains at large.

Chadwick Dale, was captured last week in North Side.

Anyone who knows the whereabouts of Marcus Manderson please call RCIPS on 911 immediately.

Time is running out, cops tell Manderson

As the hunt for the last of the three prisoners who escaped from HMP Northward on 14 August continues, the officer leading the enquiry is calling on Marcus Manderson to give himself up.

“It’s now been two weeks since the three men escaped from prison,” Detective Chief Inspector Malcolm Kay said. “Two of them have been recaptured and are now back behind bars. It’s clear that the men have been living rough and we believe that they have stayed together since the breakout. Marcus is now out there on his own. He will be tired and feeling vulnerable. He must know that it’s only a matter of time before he too is recaptured.

“It’s not known if he has access to food or water. But once again I would ask property owners and residents to report any suspicious activity or thefts from their premises.

“The support we’ve had from the community has been great. I know that people will be encouraged by the results we’ve had so far and I am confident that the joint operations with our colleagues in the prison service will ensure that the remaining prisoner is brought to justice.”

The three men escaped from HMP Northward on 14 August. In excess of 30 police officers have been dedicated to the operation to recapture the escapees. On Tuesday 20 August Chadwick Dale was arrested after an operation in the North Side area. Earlier this morning, Wednesday 28 August, Steve Manderson was arrested following an operation in Frank Sound. Steve’s son Marcus remains at large.

Anyone who has any information which could assist the enquiry is asked to contact their local police station. Any sightings of Marcus Manderson should be reported immediately to 911.
