Escaped Watchhouse Inmate Recaptured At Mitchelton
A 23 year old builder's labourer escaped from the city watchhouse at 6:22 pm today and was recaptured on a Mitchelton bound train sixty six minutes later. Police believe he scaled the one foot wall of the watchhouse. He had previously stolen a bicycle and the escape triggered a city wide manhunt. Sergeant D J Morris recognised the escapee on a suburban train and he was returned to the watchhouse within half an hour.
