Inmate reportedly drugged twin, stole his clothes and ID to escape prison

CALLAO, Peru – A prisoner is back in custody in Peru more than a year after an unconventional escape involving his twin brother, a move seemingly taken “straight from Arrested Development,” per the Daily Beast.

Alexander Delgado Herrera had been serving 16 years for child sex abuse and robbery when his twin, Giancarlo, visited him at Piedras Gordas ‘Ancon I’ prison north of Lima last January. Seizing on the opportunity, Delgado Herrera—also known by the alias Vaporito—allegedly drugged his brother, stole his clothes and ID, and walked out of the prison. Fingerprints later confirmed the wrong man was in custody, report the BBC and Telegraph.

Arrested on suspicion of involvement, Giancarlo was eventually released without charge while the government offered a $6,000 reward for information leading to his twin’s capture, per the Guardian.
