Quarantined inmates break out of Sakon Nakhon prison

By The Nation

 

 

Five inmates staged a daring escape from Sawang Daen Din Prison in Sakon Nakhon province on Friday morning (May 1) after being transferred to a Covid-19 quarantine room.

 

The prisoners escaped through the ceiling of the room and made their way through tight passages in the building without being spotted by the guards.

 

They then fashioned a rope from canvas sheeting and used it to climb over the perimeter wall, before fleeing from the prison.

 

Four of the men had been convicted of possessing drugs while the fifth was in prison for destroying property in the northeastern province.

 

Police have launched a manhunt for the escapees.

What exactly made the escape 'daring'?

Was it because they 'dared' to escape, or did one of the escapees 'dare' the others, in order to egg them on?

Shades of the British wartime TV series Colditz - was one of them disguised as a prison guard, had someone forged documents in advance?

No but 2 of them had false moustaches, peasant clothes, driving a horse drawn cart whilst another one hid in the hay in the back of the cart.  The other 2 wore hooped shirts and berets, had a string of onions round their necks and carried baguettes! Oh hang on a minute, i think that was 'Allo, Allo' ????

That was a lucky find for them, wasn’t it...

Don't worry, it was only staged, not real...
