2 boys from Chengalpattu Home escape

CHENGALPATTU: Police are on the lookout for two boys aged 17, who allegedly jumped over the wall and escaped from the juvenile home in Chengalpattu on Tuesday.

The boys hailing from Tirunelveli and Cuddalore were arrested by the Tirunelveli police on theft charges. They were lodged in the Chengalpattu juvenile home.

However, two days ago, the duo made one of the inmates bend over and climbed upon him to scale the wall of the home and escaped thereafter.
