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.
