The two remaining escapees from a jail break in southern California have been captured in San Francisco, police announced Saturday, according to AFP.
The two - identified as Hossein Nayeri, 37, and Jonathan Tieu, 20 - were arrested after a passerby recognized their white van as the one authorities said had been stolen following the dramatic jail break last week in Santa Ana, near Los Angeles.
The men's escape, in which they managed to cut through a ventilation grill and then use knotted bedsheets to rappel from the roof of the jail, had sparked an intense manhunt, leaving area residents in fear.
The trio had been described as dangerous, "desperate" and probably armed.
