How do I get rid of these criminals?

What task have I not completed? They won’t go away. They keep coming back in two of my towns, one of which I had nuked. I’ve tried to look up where and when they popped into the game, but nothing was said on how to get rid of them. They don’t hurt the gameplay, but they are irritating.

Werent they an NPC package to buy after that event ended? Can you click on and store them?

Same issue in my secondary town (so I don't care) but they're not in my main town. Can't think of anything I did differently.

Think that it's just one of those wonderful glitches that get into the game from time to time that you can't do anything about, eventually they will probably just disappear from your game, I remember Gill once getting stuck in my town for about 6 months many years ago but it eventually corrected itself, just carry on playing and think of them as a bonus in game item.

No I can’t store them. I didn’t buy them. They are just a nuisance.

I just found your thread from a year ago discussing same problem. https://forums.ea.com/en/the-simpsons-tapped-out/discussion/274054/i-still-have-the-orange-convicts-in-my-town-how-do-i-get-rid-of-them

It appears you both got free NPCs that no one else has. Wow! I dont see how this is a problem. I would enjoy having a couple escaped convicts roaming my town, "on the lamb", as it used to be said. 😄
