According to the information, Cai Changpan chatted with local residents when he came to the store to buy food.
However, the neighbors do not know that Cai Changpan is a wanted prisoner for fleeing.
“Public information saw the suspect but the community did not know that the person concerned was DPO, the escaped prisoner. That (happened) when he bought food in the village on the outskirts of the forest,” Yusri said.
Cai Changpan, alias Anthoni, escaped from Tangerang Class I Prison on September 14.
Cai Changpan is not the first to escape. The Chinese drug lord, who possesses 135 kilograms of crystalline methamphetamine, also escaped from the Police Headquarters Criminal Investigation Detention Center on January 24, 2017.

In this escape, Cai Changpan made a hole from the cell to the sewer. The length of the hole is estimated at 30 meters.
So far, Cai Changpan has not been arrested and is still being pursued by the police. The police have put Cai Changpan on the wanted list (DPO).
According to witness testimony, Changpan alias Cai Ji Fan alias Antoni happened to buy cigarettes after fleeing and returning to meet his wife at their home in the Tenjo, Bogor, West Java area. After that, Cai Changpan escaped again.
Now the police have also named two prison officials as suspects.
They helped Cai Changpan purchase and store a water pump that was used to suck up water during the excavation of the escape hole in the cell.
