Convict escapes Sacré-Cœur

A convict being escorted to Sacré-Cœur hospital Friday morning managed to evade his captors, steal a car and flee the scene. TVA goes into more detail, reporting that he’s called Gaétan Campeau and is 49 years old, but neither item specifies why he was behind bars.

Update: Saturday morning it’s reported that police caught up to Campeau in Longueuil and hauled him back to Bordeaux jail. The Gazette’s Paul Cherry gives out some details on Campeau’s criminal history.
