Armoured police pour into small town in hunt for 'Shawshank-escape' duo

Hundreds of police in body armour have poured into a small town in New York state in the search for two killers who used power tools to break out of a maximum security prison 30 miles away.

The hunt that began over the weekend focused on Willsboro, close to Lake Champlain, in the Adirondack foothills, after residents reported seeing a couple of men walking on a road during a driving rainstorm.
