Canada inmates in helicopter escape

 

  The inmates managed to flee Orsainville detention centre on Saturday evening, officials say

Three inmates have escaped from a prison in Canada using a helicopter, police say.

They say the daring jailbreak from the Orsainville detention centre, Quebec province, happened at about 19:45 local time on Saturday (23:45 GMT).
Police are now searching for the inmates, who have been identified as Yves Denis, Denis Lefebvre and Serge Pomerleau.
Local officials said they believed the helicopter had headed west.
They declined to provide further details.
Last year, two inmates managed to escape from a prison near Montreal by climbing up a rope into a hovering helicopter.

The two prisoners and two other people suspected of organising the jailbreak were later arrested
