A dangerous prison inmate who escaped from a central Auckland medical facility more than 10 weeks ago has been captured.
Te Ariki Poulgrain, said to have links to the Killer Beez gang and among a group of three prisoners who assaulted notorious double-killer Graeme Burton at Auckland's Paremoremo Prison, has been on the run since June 30.
Footage captured on CCTV at the time showed the 23-year-old running through Park Rd in Grafton on June 30 with handcuffs still on his wrists.
