May 26 (UPI) -- A prisoner at a medium security prison in Minneapolis remains at large after a group of inmates escaped on Friday, law enforcement said.
A prisoner at the Minnesota Correctional Facility-Lino Lakes scaled a fence and hijacked an idling prison transport van carrying several other inmates around 11 a.m. Friday. Police recovered the van in north Minneapolis shortly thereafter and took nine of the inmates into custody at gunpoint, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
