pair escaped from Police during an investigation yesterday.

The two juveniles gave officers the slip as they were being taken to a Shelly Bay, Hamilton Parish location around 4.30 p.m. to recover allegedly stolen property.

One boy was found after an extensive search in the water at Shelly Bay and was taken back to St. George's Police Station.

The other at press time was the subject of a manhunt. Police have not released a description of the boy.

They were in custody after being arrested on Sunday in relation to a series of east end thefts.

Several officers including Marine Police units converged on the area.
