New Orleans Jailbreak: Dramatic Chase Ends in Two Arrests, Manhunt Continues

New Orleans Jailbreak: Eight Escapees Captured, Manhunt Continues A major manhunt is underway after ten prisoners escaped from a New Orleans jail on May 26th, 2025. Authorities have confirmed that eight of the escapees have been apprehended, two of whom were involved in a high-speed chase with police in Huntsville, Texas. The dramatic chase culminated in the arrest of the two suspects, captured on police dashcam footage. The video footage clearly shows the tense situation as officers approached the vehicle. One officer is heard shouting instructions for the suspects to move to the side of the car. "That's not all the arrests that were made just on Monday," said CNN senior correspondent Ryan Young in a report. Authorities are still searching for the remaining two escapees, described as "street savvy" and "armed and dangerous." The US Marshal's office is urging the public to remain vigilant and report any sightings. Despite the serious nature of the situation, the swift capture of eight escapees offers a glimmer of hope that the remaining two will soon be apprehended. The cooperation between law enforcement agencies across state lines demonstrates the effectiveness of collaborative efforts in combating crime.
