Ten undocumented migrants escape from Tanah Merah detention depot

Ten undocumented migrants, including seven Thai citizens, an Indonesian, a Bangladeshi, and a Rohingya, escaped from the Immigration detention depot in Tanah Merah, Kelantan, early today, according to the New Straits Times. Police have launched an operation, dubbed Ops Tutup, to locate and recapture all ten escapees. The detainees, believed to be wearing bright green shirts issued by the detention depot and reportedly bald, are described as being at risk of being approached by the public.

Authorities urge members of the public to contact the police if they spot anyone matching the escapees' description, with contact details provided for the Tanah Merah district police headquarters, Tanah Merah police station, and the District Control Centre.
