Chillies aid Sumatra jail break
Eighteen Indonesian prisoners broke out of jail using an unusual weapon - the chilli pepper.
Prisoners at Pematang Siantar jail in Sumatra mixed hot chillies with water in plastic bottles to spray at guards.The fiery liquid temporarily blinded the guards, allowing prisoners to grab their keys and make the break for freedom.
Sixteen of the inmates had now been recaptured, a police official said, but two were still on the run.
The men were meant to be on their way to breakfast but instead stormed the prison gate, Detective Den Martin told the Associated Press news agency.
They were spraying the chilli water and shouting “attack, attack”, he said.
A prison warder, Harianaja, told the Jakarta Post newspaper that the guards could not fight back because they were outnumbered.
“The is the first time chilli has been used to get out of this penitentiary,” the daily quoted him as saying.
So why is it that Prison Break’s Michael Scofield and company took an entire Season One to break out? Because they’re not going to get caught and Prison Break is what you call an amazing TV series. The bottom line is: Prison Break rocks, and our Sumatra Chilli Boys don’t.
