A 15-year-old who escaped from Child Youth and Family custody while facing serious charges over the death of an Auckland man has been arrested by police.
The teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was found by officers this morning.
Inspector Gary Allcock said the accused was located with ``assistance from his family'' and would face a special court sitting this afternoon.
The teenager has been charged with dangerous driving causing death in relation to a crash that killed 22-year-old Shaun Fitzpatrick, whose funeral was held today in Auckland.
He was allegedly the driver of a stolen Subaru Forester that was racing through industrial Mt Wellington early Saturday morning and smashed into Mr Fitzpatrick's car.
