Escaped SoCal inmates arrested near GG Park

San Francisco police confirmed Saturday morning they have captured two men who escaped from an Orange County jail last week.

Hossein Nayeri and Jonathan Tieu were arrested by police at around 9 p.m. somewhere near Golden Gate Park, Officer Grace Gatpandan said around 10:45 a.m.

The pair had been seen Thursday night in San Jose near The Alameda and Interstate Highway 880, according to the U.S. Marshals Service.

Nayeri and Tieu escaped from the Orange County Central Men’s Jail in Santa Ana on Jan. 22.

A third inmate, Bac Duong, also escaped with Nayeri and Tieu – but Duong was captured Friday in Santa Ana.
