Overview
- Brandt Graham, a 44-year-old patched Mongols member who jumped the dock at Darwin Local Court, was arrested in Palmerston five days after his Friday escape and remains in custody.
- Northern Territory Police said the Fugitive Taskforce stopped a grey Mazda in Gunn, intercepted it near Lakeview Boulevard and Chung Wah Terrace, and the Dog Operations Unit apprehended Graham after he fled on foot.
- Since the escape police have arrested seven people linked to Graham on matters including outstanding warrants, bail breaches and drug-related offences, and a 25-year-old woman remains in custody accused of helping him.
- Court CCTV captured Graham sprinting from the courthouse under the watch of privately contracted G4S guards, a detail that has prompted police inquiries into court supervision and security procedures.
- Authorities expect charges to be filed against Graham and others and have urged the public not to approach him or suspected associates and to call triple-zero with any information.
