Prisoner escapes by hiding inside suitcase

A 19-year-old woman appears to have escaped from a juvenile detention center in northwest Germany by hiding in the suitcase of a fellow inmate who was released, police said on Monday.

Guards at the facility in Neustadt remarked that the suitcase of the 18-year-old who walked free on Friday was particularly heavy but failed to search it, the police said.

The fact that the other woman was missing was only noticed several hours later during the routine evening check of cells.

The police are still looking for the two young women.
