Two inmates have escaped from the Winfield Correctional Facility in south-central Kansas.

A box truck that two inmates used to escape from the Winfield Correctional Facility in south-central Kansas has been found abandoned about 15 miles away.

The Kansas Department of Corrections said in a news release that the truck sustained a blowout northeast of Rock and was found Sunday morning.

The discovery was made one day after corrections officials identified 52-year-old Robert Cook and 48-year-old Frank

Crutchfield as missing.

Now, officials say a truck belonging to the nearby city of Douglass is missing and that the fugitives are suspected of taking it. The vehicle is described as a dark blue 2006 GMC Sierra with a Kansas license tag of 74914.

Authorities are asking anyone with information on the whereabouts of the two men or the missing truck to contact law

enforcement.

Yeah, I'm not sure where the guys are, but the truck might be northeast of Rock.
