Police in Samoa have stepped up their search for an escaped convict who has been on the run since January last year, with an armed raid in the early hours of Tuesday.
Police Commissioner Fuiavailili Egon Keil told Talamua Media the raid targeted Pati Chong Nee and another man alleged to have threatened officers by firing a firearm on Monday.
Fuiavailili said the raid took place at Tapatapao, an inland village southwest of Apia.
