May 30 (UPI) -- Authorities in New Orleans have increased the reward by tens of thousands of dollars for information that leads to the arrest of the two remaining fugitives who escaped from jail earlier this month.
A manhunt for 10 escapees from the Orleans Justice Center has persisted for two weeks, during which eight of the fugitives have been recaptured.
The two remaining fugitives being hunted are Derrick Groves and Antoine Massey.
Authorities from multiple agencies announced during a press conference Thursday that they are offering $50,000 for each escapee, which is a drastic increase from the previous $20,000 being offered for information that leads to their arrests.
