Eastern Cape police have confirmed that they had re-arrested all four St Albans Prison inmates, who escaped while in transit in the Gelvandale Area.
A task team, established to hunt down the escapees, successfully apprehended all four of them during the night.
The suspects escaped through the roof of a courts' truck that was en route to St Albans around 20 past two on Wednesday afternoon.
Warrant Officer Alwyn Labans says Justin Bramwell, Ettienne Andrews, Marco Tiervlei and William Kleinbooi were all sentenced robbery suspects, who had been involved in robberies in the Mount Road and Bethelsdorp areas.
He says a sergeant and a constable were transporting the prisoners back to St Albans when they heard loud banging noises coming from the back of the truck.
They then saw the suspects fleeing off the roof of the vehicle into nearby bushes.
