Three Women Arrested in Connection with Escape of Two Boys from La Honda Correctional Facility

Deputies encountered suspects' car on their way to the facility.

Two juveniles who escaped from a San Mateo County correctional facility this week were captured by sheriff's deputies and arrested later that night, along with three women allegedly involved in the boys' escape.

According to the sheriff's office, deputies were dispatched at 8:11 p.m. Tuesday to the Log Cabin Boys Ranch in La Honda, where the two escapees reportedly hopped into a waiting vehicle that sped off from the facility.

On their way to the ranch, the deputies encountered a Buick Park Avenue matching the suspect vehicle's description, and deputies stopped the car.

Staff from the ranch responded to the stopped vehicle and positively identified the boys as the escapees.
