Corrective services vehicle rammed in brazen escape – Griffith ACT
“A prisoner who allegedly escaped police custody after the corrective services vehicle he was riding in was rammed has been found hiding in a roof in Canberra’s north. ACT police said just after 4:00pm on Friday witnesses saw a white Jeep ram the corrective services car on Oxley Street in Griffith in Canberra’s inner south. Police allege 28-year-old Kane Quinn, who was a detainee from the Alexander Maconochie Centre being transported in the vehicle, fled in the Jeep with 28-year-old Lila Rosemary Walto. The Jeep was found torched and abandoned just before 5:00pm on Nares Crescent in the nearby suburb of Forrest. Police spent a few hours on Friday night searching for the pair before Mr Quinn and two women were arrested at a house in Canberra’s inner north about 9:00pm.”
