Two of the three illegal immigrants who were still on the run following a mass breakout from the Floriana detention centre last Friday have been caught, sources said yesterday.

Some 90 immigrants broke out of the centre on Friday at around noon in protest at their lengthy detention but all except three had been rounded up by the evening.

The sources said yesterday that one of the immigrants turned himself in at police headquarters while another was picked up in Mosta.

The police are still searching for the last escapee.
