SPD denies prison break report

MANILA, Philippines — The Southern Police District (SPD) yesterday  belied circulating audio recordings and text messages about the alleged escape of three inmates facing rape, homicide and murder charges.

The text messages warned residents of several barangays in Taguig and Makati to exercise caution due to the alleged prison break.

“All reports indicate that there have been no incidents of a prison break, and all detainees are accounted for,” the SPD said.

The SPD urged the public to remain vigilant and to rely only on verified information from official sources.
