Escapees flag down cop car

Three escaped prisoners were recaptured in Australia after they flagged down an unmarked police car.

The men, aged 19, 20 and 27, allegedly broke out of Warakirri Correctional Centre at Ivanhoe, New South Wales, reports News.com.au.

They managed to travel more than 125 miles - but were arrested when they waved down the unmarked police car at Buronga.

The trio were taken to Dareton Police Station and have been charged with escaping from lawful custody.
