A group of six prisoners have escaped from a penal colony in the Chernozem region of central Russia. The escapees are all serving long sentences for serious crimes, and are considered to be dangerous.
The escape occurred on the evening of March 8, when the prisoners managed to overpower the guards and break out of their cells. They then stole a car and drove away from the colony.
The authorities are currently investigating the incident, and have launched a manhunt for the escapees. They have also asked the public to be on the lookout for the prisoners, and to report any suspicious activity.
