A teenage prisoner who escaped custody at Hutt Valley District Court yesterday has handed himself in to police.
Cameron Gordon Reid, 17, was appearing on dishonesty charges when he escaped his police escort at the Laings Rd building at 1.30pm.
Police yesterday issued a district-wide alert and doorknocked the addresses of known associates, but were unable to find the Stokes Valley teenager.
A Wellington police spokesman said Reid handed himself into the court and was arrested today.
