A 20-year-old inmate who escaped from a detention facility near Lyon by hiding inside a fellow detainee’s luggage has been arrested three days after his prison break, French authorities confirmed on Monday.
The man, identified as Elyazid A, originally from Mayotte, was apprehended around 6 am Monday in a basement in Sathonay-Camp, a small town north of Lyon, according to the Lyon public prosecutor’s office.
