NSW jail escapees' ute found

Two prison escapees remain on the loose in NSW's west despite police finding the stolen car they're believed to have fled in.

Geoffrey Fieldsend, 30, and Richard Reginald Pretty, 29, broke out of the minimum-security Ivanhoe Correctional Centre on Saturday night and were believed to have been travelling in a stolen black and grey ute through central-west NSW.

After issuing a public appeal, police found the car abandoned on an outback road near Yeoval on Tuesday afternoon, with the men's clothing inside.

A search of the surrounding area failed to locate any traces of the pair.

The men are both described as about 180cm tall with short, light hair.

Police have warned people who spot the pair not to approach them but to ring triple-zero immediately.
