Quebec police said the three men were arrested at a Montreal residence at 1:30 am today, and that further arrests in the case are likely.
Police have not released further details on how they found the fugitives who escaped on June 7 when a helicopter plucked them from a courtyard of the Orsainville Detention Centre in suburban Quebec City. Their escape touched off a massive international manhunt.
The three fugitives Yves Denis, 35, Denis Lefebvre, 53, and Serge Pomerleau, 49 were awaiting trial on charges that included gangsterism and murder.
