Two robbers in Greece have escaped again from a high-security prison. They made their getaway in a helicopter on Sunday afternoon.
The Ministry of Justice says the pair climbed a rope ladder thrown to them by a woman in the helicopter.
Guards exchanged gunfire with the woman, but no one was hurt. Police found the helicopter abandoned north of Athens.
The pilot was bound, gagged and had a hood over his head. The men escaped from the same prison the same way three years ago.
The operation had been masterminded by an older brother of one of the convicts. The two were scheduled to appear in court today in connection with their previous escape.
