Police Assist After Prisoner Van Breaks Down
Police Assist After Prisoner Van Breaks Down
Police assisted Corrections to escort a transport bus carrying a number of prisoners to a nearby prison after it broke down last night on the Desert Road.
The prisoners were contained in the bus at all times. Corrections and Police staff were on hand and there was no risk to public safety.
Corrections has robust plans in place for incidents of this kind and our response was successfully executed.
A full investigation will be undertaken into this matter.
