Samoa Police Service media officer Superintendent Auapa'au Logoitino Filipo confirmed with KHJ News that the prison authorities had advised them of the escape.
Fili Faulalo and Tusi Samuelu are both serving time for burglary and aggravated robbery.
Police have now launched a search for the escapees and the public have been warned to be on the look out for them but not to approach them as they are considered dangerous.
Our correspondent said this comes as the search for an inmate who escaped the week before Christmas, Uili Manuleleua, was still on going.
