Sept. 23 (UPI) — Authorities in New Hampshire are searching for two minimum-security inmates alleged to have escaped from their transitional housing unit early this week.

The New Hampshire Department of Corrections said in a statement that Aris Karamousianis, 43, and James Brouillard, 63, signed out of their transitional housing unit in Manchester, located about 22 miles south of Concord, at 11:05 a.m. EDT Monday in search of employment.

“Neither returned to their transitional housing facility and their current whereabouts are unknown,” the department said.

The pair were placed on “ESCAPE” status at 5:30 p.m. Monday. Authorities said their last known location was near Manchester’s Delta Dental Stadium.

Karamousianis was convicted on charges of being a felon in possession of a dangerous weapon, and was to be released as early as Dec. 3, while Brouillard was incarcerated for armed robbery and had a maximum custody release date of Dec. 2, 2030.

Karamousianis is described as a White man about 6 feet, 2 inches tall weighing about 220 pounds with blue eyes and brown hair. He was last seen wearing jeans, a white T-shirt, a gray zip-up fleece jacket and a gold cross necklace.

Brouillard is also a White man, about 6 feet, 1 inch tall and about 200 pounds. He was last seen wearing jeans, a gray crew-neck sweatshirt and white sneakers. He also has several tattoos, including a skull with a heart and rose on his right forearm as well as the Grim Reaper on his right arm and a dragon on his left arm.

Anyone with information about their whereabouts is encouraged to contact the New Hampshire Department of Corrections.
