Police are hunting an escaped Northern Territory prisoner believed to be heading towards Alice Springs in the latest in a string of jailbreaks and manhunts across the Territory.<\/p>\n
Jaiden Miller, 28, escaped from the Barkly Work Camp on Sunday, with police alerted about 5.20pm.<\/p>\n
Investigators believe Miller removed his electronic monitoring device after fleeing custody and may now be travelling south towards Alice Springs. He was last seen wearing a yellow shirt and blue shorts.<\/p>\n
His escape comes after several high-profile custody breaches in the Northern Territory in recent years.<\/p>\n
In January 2022, Ezra Austral, Richard Henwood and Maximus Cutta escaped from the Barkly Work Camp after removing their electronic monitoring devices, triggering a five-day manhunt. All three were later recaptured in Tennant Creek.<\/p>\n
In September 2024, two prisoners broke out of the Darwin Watch House in the early hours of the morning before police arrested both men at Daly River later that day.<\/p>\n
More recently, a 44-year-old man fled lawful custody at Darwin Local Court on June 5 this year after jumping the dock and running from the building. <\/p>\n
Police later tracked him across Darwin as he allegedly tried to evade capture, while a woman was also taken into custody for allegedly helping him.<\/p>\n
A month later, Isaac Thompson, 26, escaped while being escorted from an ambulance into Royal Darwin Hospital\u2019s emergency department. <\/p>\n
Thompson, who police identified as an associate of the Mongols outlaw motorcycle gang, ran from custody handcuffed and wearing only shorts and socks. He was captured three days later after a large-scale search.<\/p>\n
That escape put the Territory\u2019s corrections system under fresh pressure, with an external review launched and three corrective services officers stood down with pay.<\/p>\n
Police are urging Miller to hand himself in and have warned the public not to approach him if he is seen.<\/p>\n
Anyone with information about his whereabouts is urged to contact police on 131 444 or call Crime Stoppers anonymously on 1800 333 000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Police are hunting an escaped Northern Territory prisoner believed to be heading towards Alice Springs in the latest…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":78824,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[120357,37016,37018,120346,63372,41927,120345,120353,120347,41812,37136,120370,120344,1518,91561,55190,37483,120375,120360,22,21,120363,120368,41046,120352,3743,120351,6822,25399,120350,56864,120348,120362,120364,34906,120366,120361,120343,99296,120355,120373,120356,379,120376,120371,1047,20353,34889,114742,120369,47605,69824,120342,19816,4821,120359,120358,36523,120365,66921,40475,41106,120374,40467,41032,42761,49791,120372,39096,42706,120349,49153,120354,120367],"class_list":["post-78823","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-australia","tag-s-emergency-department","tag-37016","tag-37018","tag-5-20pm-investigators","tag-a-28-year-old-man","tag-a-44-year-old-man","tag-a-five-day-manhunt","tag-a-large-scale-search-that-escape","tag-a-major-manhunt","tag-a-string","tag-a-woman","tag-a-work-camp","tag-a-yellow-shirt","tag-alice-springs","tag-all-three","tag-an-ambulance","tag-an-associate","tag-an-escaped-northern-territory-prisoner","tag-an-external-review","tag-au","tag-austrlia","tag-barkly-work-camp","tag-blue-shorts-his-escape","tag-both-men","tag-capture","tag-custody","tag-daly-river","tag-darwin","tag-darwin-local-court","tag-ezra-austral","tag-fresh-pressure","tag-him-a-month","tag-his-electronic-monitoring-device","tag-his-tracking-device","tag-isaac-thompson","tag-jaiden-miller","tag-jailbreaks-and-manhunts","tag-january-2022","tag-june-5","tag-lawful-custody","tag-maximus-cutta","tag-miller","tag-newswire-news","tag-only-shorts-and-socks","tag-pay-police","tag-police","tag-prisoner","tag-public","tag-recent-years-in","tag-richard-henwood","tag-royal-darwin-hospital","tag-september-2024","tag-several-high-profile-custody-breaches","tag-sunday","tag-system","tag-tennant-creek-in","tag-the-barkly-work-camp","tag-the-building","tag-the-darwin-watch-house","tag-the-dock","tag-the-early-hours","tag-the-latest","tag-the-mongols-outlaw-motorcycle-gang","tag-the-morning","tag-the-northern-territory","tag-the-run","tag-the-territory","tag-their-electronic-monitoring-devices","tag-this-year","tag-thompson","tag-three-corrective-services-officers","tag-three-days","tag-tracking-device","tag-two-prisoners"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78823","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=78823"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78823\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/78824"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=78823"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=78823"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=78823"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
