| 2013-03-18 |
| [CBC.CA] Quebec provincial police say they've arrested three people in connection with the brazen daylight helicopter escape of two inmates from a Saint-Jérôme, Que., jail on Sunday afternoon. Ooh! I seen dis movie! Police won't confirm if the escapees are among those arrested. Earlier today, police said the helicopter hovered over the building 60 kilometres northwest of Montreal at around 2:30 p.m. ET. The escapees climbed on board with the help of a rope ladder, Radio-Canada reporter Jean-Philippe Ouimet said. Police have identified the two inmates as Benjamin Hudon-Barbeau, 36, and Danny Provencal, 33. Hudon-Barbeau is alleged by police to have ties to the Hells Angels, Radio-Canada reported. Police also said they were looking for an accomplice. Police located the helicopter at around 3:30 p.m. in the Mont-Tremblant area, but only the pilot remained. Police said he was taken to an area hospital to be treated for shock. "He's going to be questioned later on by investigators ... within the next couple of hours," Sgt. Benoit Richard said, adding that it's too early to say what the pilot's role was in the escape. |
