The three men who escaped a Quebec prison over the weekend via helicopter each had ties to the Mob and Hell’s Angels.

Yves Denis, 35, Denis Lefebvre, 53, and Serge Pomerleau, 49, broke out of the Quebec province jail Saturday evening.  

"The helicopter landed in a courtyard at the detention center," police spokeswoman Ann Mathieu told the French news channel RDI on Sunday.

The three men were charged with drug trafficking in connection with the Hell’s Angels.  They were to appear in court in January 2015 on charges of two premeditated murders.  Denis, Lefebvre and Pomerleau are facing multiple court proceedings on various charges, in addition to the murders including drug trafficking and gangsterism.

A similar prison break via helicopter occurred just over a year ago north of Montreal.  Those fugitives were apprehended almost immediately.
