A 28-year-old man who escaped from ACT Corrective Services custody on Friday afternoon and a 28-year-old woman will face the ACT Magistrates Court today, Saturday 10 July, on multiple charges.
The court appearances come after ACT Policing arrested the man yesterday evening in Lyneham.
The 28-year-old man is charged with escaping from lawful custody, and a 28-year-old Hackett woman is charged with three counts of assaulting frontline community service providers, dangerous driving, driving while suspended, taking a motor vehicle without consent, not giving particulars to the other driver after a crash, and damaging property.
Investigations into yesterday’s events are continuing. Further arrests and charges are likely.
