A manhunt is underway in Oklahoma for inmates who escaped from a jail by crawling through a hatch above a shower head.

Three escapees who had been convicted of methamphetamine offenses, and a fourth awaiting trial on a federal gun charge, busted out of Caddo County jail in Anadarko, Oklahoma by prying open a latch above a shower and climbing into a crawl space. The men were able to then exit an unlocked door and leave the jail.

According to CNN, the men escaped with regular clothes as orange prison jumpsuits were found outside the jail.
