1 of 4 Escapees From Juvenile Hall Caught
One of four teenage prisoners who escaped from a Sylmar juvenile hall was recaptured Friday, but the others remained free, police said.
The escapees, all 17 and gang members -- one convicted of attempted murder -- had been moved from a locked cell to a less secure room where they broke through wall paneling before daybreak Thursday.
About 3 p.m., a team from the county Probation Department, which oversees juvenile halls, acted on a tip and found Kenny Mack at a friend’s South Los Angeles home, said LAPD Officer Mike Lopez.
The escapes are being investigated.
