The two Orleans Parish Justice Center escapees who were caught near Huntsville, Texas, last week are back in Louisiana.

According to Louisiana State Police, Texas authorities transported Leo Tate and Jermaine Donald back to the Pelican State via helicopter on Friday, four days after they were arrested following a high speed chase near the Texas State Penitentiary. The two are now being held in a secure state correctional facility.

Meanwhile, two other escapees, Derrick Groves and Antoine Massey, remain at large 15 days after the escape. The reward for information that directly leads to their arrests has been increased to $50,00 per escapee.

If you know the whereabouts of Groves and/or Massey, call Crimestoppers of Greater New Orleans 504-822-1111 or the FBI New Orleans Bureau at 1-800-CALL-FBI.
