Quebec provincial police say they have captured the three men who escaped from a Quebec City-area prison by helicopter earlier this month.
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.
They are due in court in Quebec City tommorow.
