Perth prison escapee to face court

A prisoner who remained on the run for three nights after using a forklift to escape from a minimum-security facility in Perth is due to appear in court.

Geoffrey Ninyette, 19, and three other prisoners escaped from the Wandoo Reintegration Facility in Murdoch on Friday night.

A police dog later tracked one of the escapees to the backyard of a nearby property, while another two were spotted in a car, prompting a police chase that ended in Rivervale.

Ninyette remained on the run but was found by police at a Maddington address on Monday morning.

He is charged with escaping from lawful custody, stealing a motor vehicle and aggravated burglary.

Ninyette is scheduled to appear in the Perth Magistrates Court on Tuesday.
