Drug lords pull off “green helicopter” escape in PQ

Three desperate drug bosses awaiting trial have escaped from the Orsainville Detention Centre near Quebec City in a green-coloured helicopter. The last time something like this happened was slightly more than a year ago when accomplices hi-jacked a chopper pilot at gunpoint to free convicts. But the 2013 escapees were quickly apprehended about 85 km away. The three break-out drug accused are identified as Yves Denis, 35, Denis Lefebvre, 53, and Serge Pomerleau, 49. All three were arrested as part of a major police operation in 2010 called Operation Ecrevisse.
