- Fugitive on the run conceals self in a wardrobe.
Two days following his breakout, a jailbird fleeing from a Bochum prison was detected concealed within a wardrobe at his own folks' dwelling. The 37-year-old convict had been on supervised release and didn't show up for a planned meeting on the Sabbath, as reported by a police spokesperson.
During the examination of potential hideaways, the inmate's parents' residence in Unna was additionally inspected. Once officers secured entry into the apartment using a neighbor's spare key, they discovered the fugitive tucked away in the wardrobe.
According to the Bochum-Langendreer penitentiary, the convict was transferred to maximum security in another prison. A resumption of supervised release appears highly unlikely. The convict must complete the remainder of their sentence, which extends into summer 2027.
After the search in Unna, it was revealed that the jailbreaker had a connection to Germany's city of Bochum-Langendreer. Despite the extended sentence, there might be challenges for the convict in serving it in Germany due to their past escapades.
