With just one week left of his prison sen­tence, Roop­nar­ine Kan­hai made a dash to es­cape from the Gold­en Grove prison ear­li­er to­day.

Around 8:30 am Kan­hai was part of an out-gang along the Gold­en Grove Road.

While car­ry­ing out the out­door chores he de­cid­ed to run away from the group.

At that time an of­fi­cer on his way to work his shift at the prison saw Kan­hai who he sus­pect­ed to be an in­mate run­ning along the Gold­en Grove Road.

The in­mate was bare­backed and in a blue prison pants.

The of­fi­cer then turned around his ve­hi­cle, gave chase and man­aged to block the in­mate along the Ex­press Link Road, Arou­ca, where Kan­hai told the of­fi­cer he was go­ing home.

The of­fi­cer kept the man there un­til an­oth­er prison of­fi­cer came along, both men then await­ed the Emer­gency Re­sponse Unit's ar­rival who then took Kan­hai back to the prison.

Kan­hai is fin­ish­ing up a four month prison term for the pos­ses­sion of co­caine at the Gold­en Grove Prison, he was ex­pect­ed to be re­leased in a few days time.
