    One of three prisoners is still on the run from police after escaping custody in Levin

    One of three prisoners is still on the run from police after escaping custody in Levin


    The trio slipped away from police guards at the town's district court last Wednesday.

    A 23-year-old was arrested in Palmerston North last night, and a 30-year-old was caught on Sunday after the public spotted him driving dangerously near Otaki.

    Police say they're still searching for 27-year-old Te Wera Hemara.
