Six escape youth detention center in Jefferson parish
BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - Six juveniles escaped from the Bridge City Center for Youth in Jefferson Parish just after midnight Wednesday.
A male staff member at the facility was injured during the escape and was taken to a hospital for treatment and later released.
Four of them were apprehended in and around Lafayette, LA Wednesday morning after they allegedly stole a vehicle and were involved in a police pursuit.
That pursuit led to two Lafayette-area schools being placed on lockdown.
The other two juveniles allegedly stole a separate vehicle, authorities said. As of 4:30 p.m. on April 28, an additional youth was apprehended in Jefferson Parish.
The one that remains at large is 17.
