Two inmates managed to escape from a Virginia jail, only to be caught red-handed enjoying pancakes at an IHOP restaurant - a daring and delicious escape that authorities are still trying to unravel.
Two inmates escaped from the Newport News Jail Annex in Virginia on Monday afternoon, and were later found at an IHOP restaurant enjoying pancakes, according to the Newport News Sheriff's Office.
John Garza and Arley Nemo were discovered missing during a routine head count at 7:15 p.m., 13 News Now reported. After an extensive search, authorities determined that the two inmates had tunneled through a wall in their cell and fled the prison.
The sheriff's office said that the two men had made their way to an IHOP restaurant, where they were found eating pancakes. They were taken into custody without incident, and are now being held at the Hampton Roads Regional Jail.
The jail is now conducting an investigation into the escape, and the two inmates are facing additional charges for their actions. It is unclear at this time how they were able to tunnel through the wall without being detected.
