Auckland City Police have recovered three of the four prisoners who escaped from a Chubb Security van en-route to the Auckland High Court at about 8.50 this morning.
The outstanding prisoner is Paul Francis Robinson, a 23 year-old Caucasian who, along with the other escapees and six more alleged offenders, was due in Court for the ongoing two to three week pre-depositions hearing of Operation Strike.
The hearing is in its third week where the 10 accused face 297 charges relating to 160 offences.
