Police made four more arrests in connection with a prison break in New Orleans this weekend, Fox News has learned.

The recent wave of arrests brings the total number of people accused of assisting the inmates in their breakout from the New Orleans Jail last week to 11.

The individuals detained include 18-year-old Patricia Vanburen, 27-year-old Tyshanea “Minnie” Randolph, 47-year-old Lenton Vanburen Sr., and 40-year-old Angel McKey. A source revealed to Fox News that Vanburen Sr. is the father of one of the escaped inmates, Lenton Vanburen.

Authorities executed a search warrant at a residence in New Orleans’ 7th District in hopes to find the fugitive Vanburen, but he was not there.

These arrests were made just days after police captured another suspect accused of aiding the inmates on Friday. Authorities state that 28-year-old Emmitt Weber assisted two inmates following their escape from the Orleans Parish Correctional Facility.

As of Sunday, five of the 10 escaped inmates remain at large.

The most recent arrest was made when Corey Boyd was taken into custody Tuesday.

The other inmates recaptured are Kendell Myles, Robert Moody, Dkenan Dennis and Gary Price.

Two others — Casey Smith and Cortnie Harris — have been arrested for allegedly aiding the escapees. Another woman, Connie Weeden, 59, allegedly gave cash to Donald via a cellphone app.

She is charged with one felony count of accessory after the fact.

The following fugitives are still at large:

  • Vanburen Jr., 27, faces charges of illegal carrying of weapons, possession of a firearm or weapon by a felon, obstruction of justice and introducing contraband in prison.
  • Jermaine Donald, 42, faces charges of second-degree murder, aggravated battery, possession of a firearm or weapon by a felon and obstruction of justice.
  • Antoine Massey, 32, faces charges of domestic abuse involving strangulation, theft of a motor vehicle and a parole violation.
  • Derrick Groves, 27, faces three counts of attempted second-degree murder, two counts of second-degree murder and battery of a correctional facility employee.
  • Leo O. Tate Sr., 31, faces charges of simple burglary of an inhabited dwelling, possession of a firearm or weapon by a felon, illegal carrying of a weapon, motor vehicle theft and multiple drug counts.
Five New Orleans escapees remain on the run.
