Jonathan Tieu and Hossein Nayeri, two of the remaining inmates who escaped from an Orange County jail have been arrested in San Francisco, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Department, ABC7 reports.

Hossein Nayeri, Jonathan Tieu, and Bac Duong, who had all been charged with violent crimes ranging from kidnapping to murder, escaped in Jan. 22, and were considered to be armed and dangerous.

The trio had headed north to San Jose, and were believed to be traveling to Fresno because of Nayeri’s family connections there, the LA Times reports.

Bac Duong, 43, turned himself in on Jan. 29, after turning around back south earlier in the week. He walked into a Vietnamese business in Santa Ana that had long frequented, and told the owners to call the authorities. Tieu and Nayeri were caught a day later.
