Canada Orsainville airlift inmates recaptured in Montreal

QUEBEC: -- Canadian police have recaptured three prisoners who escaped by helicopter from a jail outside Quebec City earlier this month.

Police said they were detained at a home in Montreal in the early hours of Sunday and more arrests were likely.

The three, Yves Denis, 35, Denis Lefebvre, 53, and Serge Pomerleau, 49, were due to face trial on murder and drugs charges.

They are set to appear in court on Monday.

The prisoners fled on 7 June in a helicopter which landed in the yard of the Orsainville detention centre, on the outskirts of the city.
