    Last escaped man wanted in Levin finally arrested

    The final man wanted for escaping custody in Levin has been arrested


    He and two others sparked a manhunt last month after making a run for it from Levin District court.

    The 27-year-old will appear in Palmerston North District Court tomorrow.

    Police are thanking the public for their cooperation as they tracked the trio down.
