Victoria Police has slammed the red tape surrounding the escape.

Those who fled the youth justice facility are suspected of committing a ‘small crime wave’ across the state.

There were two armed robberies at Noble Park, one at Bonbeach and one at Moe.

The escapees are also linked to a home invasion at Mitcham.

One of the teens who escaped took to Facebook to brag about his exploits.

‘I escaped mother****ers,’ the post read.

Police were given names and descriptions of those who escaped but can’t release them to the public until they apply with the Children’s Court.

A frustrated deputy commissioner Shane Patton spoke with Neil Mitchell.
