Jeremiah Fadiri Otoriang told Radio Emmanuel that the arrest of the ladies came when their parents were looking for them following their absence from home.
Investigation found that one lady claimed to have had the intension of seeing her aunt in Juba and later influenced a friend to follow her, he explains.
The Chief Inspector narrated that their administration informed all boarder police stations when their parents reported the case.
He reveals the police will not penalize the girls because they are still under the age of 18.
