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).The 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 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.
