PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Two women are back in police custody after escaping from a McKeesport constable's car on Friday afternoon.

Allegheny County sheriffs say 19-year-old Alyssa Cunha and 47-year-old Rebecca Cunning escaped while they were being transported to the Allegheny County Jail.

They fled the scene, and police were unable to catch up with them.

Hours later, Cunning was picked up by Pittsburgh police around Mifflin Road, while Cunha was apprehended in McKeesport by the Allegheny County Sheriff's Office.

Cunha is facing new charges, including escape and conspiracy.
