PRINCE GEORGE, B.C. - Police in British Columbia used dogs and
helicopters Saturday night to try to track down seven illegal
migrants who escaped from a local detention centre.
The men were among the hundreds
of Chinese citizens caught trying to sneak into Canada on smugglers'
boats last year.
Police said they escaped from the Prince George Regional
Correctional Centre in the afternoon.
Investigators haven't said how the men managed to get free. Just
over two weeks ago, another illegal migrant broke out of the same
facility. He was captured a few hours later.
