Huge prison riot as 30 inmates escape killing 14 in deadly jailbreak

AT LEAST 14 are dead after a deadly prison riot broke out in a notorious Mexican prison in the early hours of New Year’s Day.

More than 30 dangerous inmates have reportedly escaped from the CERESO State Three prison in Ciudad Juarez.

Prison guards opened the doors to greet visitors when they were ambushed by a gang of armed men who opened fire.

The thugs reportedly arrived on six armoured trucks to stage the dramatic jailbreak before bursting inside.

They are believed to have helped a string of terrifying inmates break free while killing two guards who tried to stop them.

Cops promptly set up road blocks in the surrounding area of the prison in an attempt to trap the escapees.

Authorities said up to 30 convicts are thought to have escaped from their cells after chaos erupted inside the prison.

Local news reports said 14 lags were killed following the explosive riot that ensued.

It has been claimed that cons started fires in some areas of the hellhole prison.

The State Investigation Agency and the Ninth Motorized Cavalry Regiment are believed to have responded to the incident.

The teams are now believed to have secured all areas of the prison as they tally up the number of missing inmates.

A huge manhunt is now underway to round up the elusive prisoners.

The Municipal Public Security Secretariat are reportedly conducting several raids on local homes as they hunt the gang who orchestrated the breakout.

Some of the suspects are said to have already been apprehended.
