The two remaining inmates who escaped from an Orange County jail last week have been captured in Northern California, authorities said Saturday morning.
Jonathan Tieu, 20, and Hossein Nayeri, 37, were arrested before 9 a.m. near Golden Gate Park by San Francisco police after officers spotted the 2008 white GMC Savana utility van that the inmates had stolen, according to authorities. One of the inmates fled but was captured a short time later.
No officers were injured during the pursuit or apprehension, officials said.
The three inmates escaped on Jan. 22 by using a makeshift rope to rappel from the roof of the facility. Steel bars and a grate had been severed with tools.
Tieu had been at the jail since October 2013 on charges of murder, attempted murder and street terrorism.
Nayeri, charged in the torture and mutilation of a California marijuana dispensary owner in 2012, has been at the jail since 2014. He had fled to Iran where he lived for several months, but was arrested by the FBI in Prague in 2013.
