Three men who escaped from a minimum-security prison in northern NSW have been arrested in the Queensland town of Goondiwindi.
The three men, two aged 20 and the other 22, escaped from the Brewarrina Correctional Centre at about 2.40am on Saturday after allegedly threatening an officer with knives, a hammer and a screwdriver and stealing a four-wheel-drive vehicle.
NSW Police said that at about 11pm on Sunday Queensland police officers were patrolling in Goondiwindi when they saw the men and arrested them without incident.
The trio, who are serving time for aggravated break and enter, will be extradited to NSW where charges will be laid.
