The Louisiana State Police say they are on the hunt for two juveniles still at large after escaping with three other juveniles.

According to LSP, the five juveniles escaped Thursday morning from the Bridge City Center for Youth on River Road in Jefferson Parish.


“Following the incident, OJJ immediately ceased all movement at the facility and made official notifications to law enforcement. As of 8:30 am, June 16, 2022, law enforcement has apprehended three of the escapees. Two escapees remain at large,” said a spokesperson with the Office of Juvenile Justice.

Authorities are still searching for a 16-year-old and a 17-year-old who are still at large.
