Four California inmates cut through the bars of a second-story jail window and rappelled down the building's side in an overnight escape bid, authorities and media reported on Thursday.

Two of the inmates who broke out of the Santa Clara County jail in San Jose were caught immediately, but the others remain at large, the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.

A massive search that includes using dogs and a helicopter is under way, the statement said.

The inmates cut through the window's bars shortly after 11 a.m. PT on Wednesday. The statement did not say how the prisoners got their hands on tools to remove the bars.

KNTV, an NBC affiliate, quoted a sheriff's spokesman as saying the men escaped using bedclothes and clothing to climb down the side of the building. A deputy on patrol noticed the clothing hanging from the window, it said.

The two inmates on the run were identified as Rogelio Chavez and Lanon Campbell. Both were facing charges that included false imprisonment and firearms violations.

A sheriff's spokesman could not be reached for comment.

Hey this is a few minutes away from my place, how fun

For my fellow SJ peeps:

 

[bjork]

Cutting through bars in the daytime

cutting through bars in 2016?

what a weird story. I figured all jails were like bulletproof limo glass by this point.

 

[SuperStiltzkin]

Same thing happened in Chicago, also using bedsheets. They're gonna ruin it for prisoners everywhere. No more bedsheets or blankets for everyone!

 

[Akuun]

Isn't there a fence or something even if you make it out of the building?

 

[valkillmore]

Must be a Truckosaurus event nearby

 

[SuperStiltzkin]

Not necessarily. This is what our federal prison looks like in Chicago right in downtown.

 

[Hidden One]

Not necessarily. This is what our federal prison looks like in Chicago right in downtown.

Wow they should put bars around the windows. I see why they escaped so easily.

 

[SuperStiltzkin]

Wow they should put bars around the windows. I see why they escaped so easily.

Yeah, the windows are supposed to be narrow enough that no one can get out. But they chiseled at the edges enough to squeeze through.

Did they buy that building from IBM or something? Looks like the old IBM building in NYC.

 

[BladeoftheImmortal]

First thing they should do is shave

I agree for the one guy, but the dude with the tattoos is going to have to get creative.

He probably regrets that face tattoo more then his crime right now.

 

[Jinfash]

Guy on the right will regret his tattoo. It really stands out.

 

[FStop7]

Wait is that a tattoo of a scar?

Mythbusters confirmed the bedsheet rope several years ago and showed how they made it.

This stuff fascinates me.

 

[Servbot24]

Huh, I honestly didn't know jail breaks were still a thing, at least in major US prisons. Obviously they should be brought to justice, but at the same time I have to give props on some level.

 

[HStallion]

He broke out so he could play FF XV

 

[Al-San]

Jesus..... I just interacted with these clowns on Tuesday. Hopefully they are caught immediately. This is really, bad especially combined with all the other negative stories that have been coming out against the Santa Clara County jail.

You want to elaborate on that abit?

 

[HStallion]

Who do you think they got the tools they escaped with from?

Now you really have to tell us why.

 

[v1lla21]

He probably works at the jail. This is not a good look for SC County at all since all the other shit that's happened.

Inmate death that involved officers, a huge brawl, and other things that keeps County jail on the news.

Too bad that white boy will stick out like a sore thumb with that tattoo.

 

[PassiveObserver]

No prison rappel jokes please.

 

[Akuun]

Not necessarily. This is what our federal prison looks like in Chicago right in downtown.

Oh wow. I've worked desk jobs in places that look worse than that.

If you ever come back, why do those dudes get those line tats on their faces? Is it a gang thing?

 

[easterislandhead]

Too bad that white boy will stick out like a sore thumb with that tattoo.

He's definitely Hispanic. Last name Chavez.
