Two inmates who escaped from the North County Correctional Facility near Castaic early Wednesday were captured 16 hours later, according to the Los Angeles Sheriff's Office.

Jose Aldana and Winder Barrios, both 24 and from Van Nuys, had escaped from the prison shortly after 1 a.m. from a loading dock area, according to Steve Whitmore, spokesman for the sheriff's office.

They were caught around 5 p.m. after a resident reported being approached by two males asking for clothing at Commerce Center Drive and Hasley Canyon Road, Whitmore said.

Sheriffs responded to the area and found them hiding in a metal storage container. They were arrested without incident and additionally charged with escape from a custody facility, according to officials.
