Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) director general Gregorio Pio Catapang Jr. announced on Thursday the recapture of an inmate who had escaped from the Sablayan Prison and Penal Farm in Occidental Mindoro, mimicking a scene in the film “The Great Escape” by the late movie icon Steve McQueen.
The impersonator-escapist, identified as Tyrone Dela Cruz, was captured in Sitio Idarag, Brgy. Sta. Lucia, Sablayan, by a Corrections Emergency Response Team while trying to get away with a stolen motorcycle.

Catapang said de la Cruz was arrested following report of a motorcycle theft by an unidentified individual.
The prisoner however, did not go far to enjoy his borrowed freedom as prison guards were already hot on his tail.
