Escaped inmate from Quebec possibly in midwestern Ontario

Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) are warning the public that an escaped inmate may be hiding in midwestern Ontario.

On Saturday, 69-year-old Lory Bill Germa escaped from the Archambault Incarceration Centre in Quebec. He's been in prison since 1992 after being convicted of murder.

The OPP believe there's a possibility that Germa may be in the South Bruce or Hanover areas.

He's described as 5'8'', 165 lbs, with brown eyes and a bald head.

Germa has several tattoos, including a sword, the name Carol, a flying skull, seahorses, dragons, the Grim Reaper, and a cloud with lightning bolts.

He also has a scar on his left eyebrow.

Anyone who spots Germa should avoid him and instead call 911, 1-888-310-1122, or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).
