They responded to that information and there they searched a number of people, including Mr. Bainton he was taken in to custody.

Keith Swift,
Do you believe that the other three escapees might still be in Belize City?
ASP Bart Jones,
"Well he was found in Belize City but we had initially had information on Friday that Bainton was seen in Stann Creek so we're looking at all these information."
Keith Swift,
Has he given you any information as to where the other three might be?
ASP Bart Jones,
"No he hasn't given any information."
