Police in New Orleans are looking for a group of prison escapees who fled through a hole behind a toilet.
A manhunt is underway after 10 prisoners escaped, leaving a message behind telling authorities the breakout was too easy. The ABC News reports that seven of the escapees, including accused murderers, remain on the run following the escape, and that the local sheriff may have been aided by people on the inside.
The search remains active with numerous local, state and federal agencies working together around the clock to apprehend the remaining individuals.
Surveillance footage, shared with the media, showed the escapees sprinting out of the facility, some wearing orange clothing and others in white.
Two more fugitives were captured on Friday evening thanks to a public tip-off, according to authorities.
Police say the search remains active with local, state, and federal agencies working together around the clock to locate and apprehend the remaining individuals.
