3 Prisoners Escape Quebec Prison Via Helicopter

For the second time in just over a year, a prison break took place in Quebec, with use of a helicopter.

Saturday night, three men escaped from a prison in Quebec City, by climbing into a helicopter, which landed in the courtyard.

The helicopter then flew a few miles and landed, where it was later found by police.

At this time it is unclear if the helicopter was part of the escape or hijacked.

All three prisoners, as well as the pilot, are missing.

The military has joined police in the search for the prisoners.
