Fraser Barton |
A man who escaped a north Queensland correctional facility and spent three days on the run has been located and returned to custody by police.
Henry Peters, 28, is serving a two-year sentence for breaking and entering a dwelling with violence or threats, and absconded from the Lotus Glen Correctional Centre on Tuesday.
He escaped from the farm section of the centre, roughly an hour west of Cairns.
The prison houses both high-security and low-security prisoners, and includes a large farm area used by the latter.
Queensland Corrective Services issued a statement on Friday confirming Peters had been found and returned to custody.
