Three trustees escape from prison

Story Picture
A manhunt has been launched for three inmates who escaped from the Department of Corrections in Hattieville. The prisoners, eighteen year old Edwardo Alcoser, thirty-five year old Rueben Galdamez and nineteen year old Pedro Gongora were working on an agricultural project across from the institution when they made a run for freedom. Jennifer Lovell, Acting Superintendent of Prisons, told News Five the three trustee inmates had just brought some vegetables to the kitchen and were on their way back to the farm when they fled. Alcoser, Galdamez and Gongora were serving time for burglary and are not considered dangerous. If you have any information that may lead to their apprehension, contact the nearest police station.
