The girlfriend of Melvor Jeffrey, the teen who was recaptured by the police after he had escaped from lawful custody while under guard at the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH), is said to be one of the two women held by the police in connection with harbouring the fugitive.
The two women and a man were arrested when Jeffrey was recaptured by the lawmen in Brutus Street, Agricola, East Bank Demerara, on Sunday morning.
Eighteen-year-old Jeffrey of Kaneville and Agricola, a mason, was in custody following a police operation in Agricola, on July 11. He was allegedly held in connection with discharging a loaded firearm at the police. According to a police source, the teen was allegedly found with a sawn-off shotgun in his possession, during his arrest.
