LOL! Wonderful security in Canada...what a Joke.



MONTREAL - Three inmates have escaped from a detention center in Quebec
City with the help of a helicopter, police said late Saturday.

**It's the second helicopter-aided inmate escape in Quebec province in two
years.**

Provincial police said the helicopter headed west from the Orsainville
Detention Center after the escape.

"We (are working with) a few partners like the airports of Quebec City and
surrounding areas, the military bases, and of course there's a ground
search in the event that the helicopter is located," said police
spokeswoman Audrey-Anne Bilodeau.

Police identified the inmates on Twitter as Yves Denis, Denis Lefebvre and
Serge Pomerleau and told anyone who sees them to not approach them and
immediately contact police.

They were being held at the detention center waiting to stand trial. In
March of last year, a helicopter pilot was forced at gunpoint to pluck two
inmates from the St-Jerome prison on a quiet Sunday afternoon. Two inmates
climbed up a rope ladder into the hovering helicopter and fled.

Police caught the two escapees and the two suspects who hijacked the
helicopter within a few hours of the escape.
