Hutson asked the public to remain alert, adding that the Sheriff’s department is working with the local, state and federal police in a “large -scale search operation.”

The New Orleans police superintendent, Anne Kirkpatrick, said a “group of people” who believe they are victims of inmates were retired from their homes and “taken safe.” She appealed to the witnesses of the crimes of the inmates to do the same.

Kirkpatrick said it is “more than probable” for inmates to have help and have changed jail clothes.

“We don’t want to panic, but we want people to be aware,” he told reporters.

Anyone who has helped inmates will be responsible, promised the sheriff.
