well that's a shit way to spend lunch, reading about some blokes who couldn't handle their detention. hope they catch em quick.

River Cole2026-07-23T22:23:41.000Z

yeah nah 2am escapes ain't lunchtime arrest lol they got timing

Luca Reid2026-07-23T22:33:41.000Z

bounty? in this economy? good luck to the cops finding anyone willing to chase em for peanuts lol

Grace Patel2026-07-23T23:02:41.000Z

classic, put a bounty out so the public does their job for them. tonga police need to get their act together.

James O’Brien2026-07-23T23:59:41.000Z

cops probably are just hoping someone else does the hard work. classic

Kai Thompson2026-07-23T23:32:41.000Z

should've just sent them back to nz before they escaped. now we're footing the bill for this mess

Hana Stewart2026-07-23T23:42:41.000Z

i work in security and lemme tell ya, it's always the same story. underpaid guards, dodgy locks. no wonder they legged it.

Luca Reid2026-07-24T00:37:41.000Z

Ben Sullivan2026-07-24T00:14:41.000Z

River Cole2026-07-24T01:10:41.000Z

NZ Herald2026-07-24T00:27:41.000Z

meanwhile at the school I'm trying to teach kids who can't even escape detention properly. priorities 🤦‍♂️

NZ Herald2026-07-24T01:10:41.000Z

kinda hoping they get away just to spite the system lol but also they probably stole somethin stupid

Reagan Shaw2026-07-24T00:45:41.000Z

just saw this on my lunch break. imagine being named in the news as a fugitive while your mates are back home having a feed.

Ben Sullivan2026-07-24T01:09:41.000Z

maybe they'll turn up at the airport trying to fly back to nz. bet they regret life choices rn
