- Up to 20 suspects were seen leaving a prison in Venezuela
This is the bizarre moment a group of clumsy prisoners emerged from prison through a tunnel only to encounter a team of police officers training outside.
Twenty daring suspected criminals were seen realizing their mistake in real time as they emerged from a hole in the wall towards the police headquarters training ground in Maracaibo, Venezuela.
Officers were seen helping the red-faced inmates through the narrow gap in the wall before leading them back inside the prison.
The situation became tense for the group of about 30 unarmed police officers.
But police later confirmed that “everything is now under control,” noting that three inmates needed treatment for minor injuries sustained during their failed escape.
