Dundee police have released photographs of the three men who escaped from the Dundee Correctional Services.
Dundee police have released photographs of the three men who escaped from the Dundee Correctional Services.
The men escaped from the prison on February 24, shortly before 3pm.
It is believed the men escaped when a correctional service officer and his two colleagues were handing over food parcels to prisoners awaiting trial.
One of the men allegedly produced a firearm and threatened the wardens.
The men then apparently forced themselves out of the prison, using a woman as a human shield.
A shot was fired at police officers who attempted to arrest them.
It was initially believed the men had fled to Madadeni; however, this could not be confirmed.
Anyone who can assist police in tracing the fugitives can either contact Detective Warrant Officer Khadu Nkabini on 071386 5684 or 034 299 9753, or Crime Stop on 08600 10111.
