Immigration detainees recaptured
Three immigration detainees who escaped from a holding centre have been recaptured after going on the run.

The Kosovan, Albanian and Senegalese men scaled a security fence and fled the Haslar Immigration Removal Centre, near Gosport, Hampshire, on Saturday.

The three were seen making their escape on CCTV footage.

They were picked up a short while later in Gosport town Centre. An investigation has begun to establish how the men were able to escape.
