Missouri manhunt underway for 5 escaped inmates, including three 'known sex offenders'
A manhunt is underway Thursday in Missouri for five escaped inmates — including three which authorities describe as "known sex offenders" — who busted out of a prison south of St. Louis.
The St. Francois County Sheriff’s Department says the jailbreak at the county’s detention center in Farmington began around 7 p.m. Tuesday when the group entered a secured cell, then "made their way through a secured door by use of force."
From there, the sheriff of the jail told FOX 2 News, it is believed they got onto the jail’s roof through corridors containing the facility’s plumbing before making their way back to the ground and out of the area.
A statement from the Sheriff’s Department said the inmates eventually stole a gray 2009 Scion TC with Missouri temporary tags from the parking lot of the Centene Corporation — a nearby healthcare business — and were last seen "traveling in a southerly direction."
