Updated | By Nushera Soodyal
Two suspects who were caught on camera manoeuvring their way out of a Durban police van remain at large.
A video of their recent escape shows the duo pushing and bending open the bottom section of a police van door eventually getting free and making a run for it. Onlookers can be heard laughing.
The KZN MEC for Community Safety Mxolisi Kaunda has ordered an urgent probe into the matter.

Department spokesperson Sipho Khumalo says the investigation will also look into whether the SAPS officers who made the arrest were negligent.
''We want to find out exactly what happened, what might have led to this escape and where the police were at the time this incident was taking place.
The matter is currently being investigated by the police. Once the investigation has been finalised, we will make public the outcome of the investigation,'' he said.
