Five arrests have been made in connection with the escape of three inmates from the Orange County Central Men's Jail in Santa Ana, California, on Friday.
The inmates — Bac Duong, 43; Hossein Nayeri, 37; and Jonathan Tieu, 20 — were all awaiting trial for violent crimes, including torture and murder, when they escaped sometime on Friday. They were last accounted for at 5 a.m., and were reported missing 16 hours later. Sheriff's deputies have served at least 30 warrants in connection to the escape, ABC 7 reports, and a $200,000 reward is being offered for information leading to their arrests.
