Almost 3000 agents are hunting for escaped French criminal

paris - France has freed 2900 agents for hunting the infamous criminal Redoine Faïd who escaped from a prison south of Paris. The police outside France were also asked to look out for the man.

Prime Minister Edouard Philippe said before the French channel RTL that picking up the 46-year-old Faïd has the highest priority. Faïd escaped Sunday from the prison of Réau, southeast of Paris. Minister of Justice Nicole Belloubet said that the escape may have been prepared for a long time. She said that there might be a connection between the escape and drones that flew over the cell complex several months ago.

Faïd managed to escape with support from companions from outside the prison. To distract the attention of the prison staff, some armed men reported at the entrance to the prison to demand the release of the criminal. At the same time, a helicopter landed in the courtyard of the prison. Faïd managed to escape with that plane.

He had a long prison sentence for an armed robbery and the murder of a policewoman.
