Ten inmates have escaped from a prison in the US

In the US, 10 inmates have escaped from prison through a hole behind a toilet, leaving guards with a taunting message.

Ten inmates, believed to be armed and dangerous, have escaped from a New Orleans jail. The sheriff is not ruling out that they had support from inside.

Currently, three have already been apprehended, but seven are still at large. MSN writes about it.

The sheriff’s office previously said 11 inmates had escaped from the jail but later updated that information.

One of the men was misidentified as a fugitive, Sheriff Susan Hutson said during a press conference.

According to the sheriff’s office, the inmates’ disappearance was discovered during a routine check conducted at the Orleans County Jail.

According to the sheriff’s office, the inmates removed the sliding jail cell door from its rails; they left the jail by punching through the wall behind the restroom.

The inmates then climbed down the wall and ran across the interstate highway.

The sheriff’s office reported that the toilet and bolts were removed with toiletries.

The sheriff’s office later released surveillance video of the unusual escape, which shows the inmates running out of the jail and then crossing the freeway.
