Police are looking for an inmate who escaped from a Toronto jail by allegedly impersonating another inmate who was to be released. Steven Alexander Guzman Marroquin, 32, of Toronto, allegedly escaped from the Toronto South Detention Centre in the area of Horner and Kipling Avenues on Monday just before noon, police said in a news release Tuesday. According to police, Marroquin impersonated another inmate who was due to be released from custody.

A federal grand jury in Miami returned indictments on Wednesday against Stevenson Charles, 24, Yusuf Minor, 31, and Naod Yohannes, 25, in connection with the Dec. 22 kidnapping that began near Atlanta. They are charged with conspiracy to kidnap, kidnapping, Hobbs Act robbery, and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence. Charles is also charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition.

Avon and Somerset Police said they had received reported sightings of Matthew Armstrong and Daniel Washbourne, who absconded from HMP Leyhill, South Gloucestershire. Armstrong, 35, was convicted of murdering someone during a robbery in Warwickshire in 2009, while Washbourne, 40, has previous convictions for violence against a person and false imprisonment. The force said that two men matching their descriptions were pictured in Ashley Road, Bristol, at 10.35am on Saturday, and were seen walking towards the Stokes Croft area.

U.S. Marshals, who assisted in relocating the escaped fugitives, revealed that Charles arranged for someone to pick up the three inmates in a vehicle and transport them to the house of one of their girlfriends. She reportedly arranged a rideshare service to take the inmates to Florida from there. Police discovered the men in Broward County, Florida, where they were then arrested and returned to prison.

I've been waiting all season for a Mayor of Kingstown episode like this week's "Belleville." Whatever this show's flaws, it has always proved capable of delivering - even if only once or twice a year - a taut, tense episode where some crisis unifies the action and propels the story. And that's what we get here: an electric 40 minutes (only 40 minutes!) in which Merle Callahan's escape rattles all of Kingstown.

Guatemala's Minister of the Interior Francisco Jimenez explained that on Friday, October 10, prison intelligence units raised the alarm about a possible prison break, so they conducted a biometric verification and a head count of inmates. During the procedure, it was reliably established that 20 inmates had evaded security controls and were no longer in Fraijanes II, Jimenez said at a press conference on Monday.

Was there really a North Carolina man named Jeffrey Manchester who was convicted of robbing 42 fast-food joints by tunneling into their rooftops overnight and sticking up the minimum-wage workers in the morning? Yes, that's entirely true. The crime spree lasted two years and ended (temporarily) when the then 28-year-old was convicted in November 2000. And yes, he really did endear himself to his victims by being apologetic and friendly while holding them at gunpointwhich made the witnesses remember more about him.

The last fugitive from the high-profile, 10-man New Orleans jailbreak in May has been captured, according to authorities. In an announcement on Wednesday, Jason Williams, the New Orleans district attorney, said that authorities had captured four-time convicted killer Derrick Groves after a standoff at a home in south-west Atlanta. Groves' escape represented a serious breach of public safety and a historic failure of custodial security, Williams' statement said.

Fugitive is considered the leader of a drug-dealing network and may have fled abroad

When a neatly dressed man in his 60s walked into Dee Why Police Station in NSW to hand himself in, police were dumbfounded. Darko Desic: a prison escapee who was featured on Australia's Most Wanted, and had been on the run from police since busting out from Grafton Prison, using a hacksaw and bolt cutters three decades earlier. Surviving on little more than his wits, charm and guile, Darko dodged numerous hair-raising close calls over the years.
