It's moments like these you need minties......

Top notch effort from that cop to not be curled over in a heap on the ground laughing his head off - I would have been incapable of anything seeing that in person, i'd be on the ground crying!!!!

[nodrog]

[EJK]

I thought it was staged...

Lamp post spoils cuffed prisoners' dash for freedom


It was less than a great escape.

Two prisoners who fled a courthouse handcuffed together foiled their own getaway when they ran around opposite sides of a light pole, slammed into each other and fell to the ground.

Jailers nabbed them as they struggled to their feet.

Their escapade on Wednesday was captured by a CCTV camera at Hastings District Court. (http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/video.cfm?c_id=1&gal_objectid=10554248&gallery_id=104286):rofl:

The footage shows the two men trying to make a break for it - but apparently forgetting they were joined at the wrist.

Hastings police Senior Sergeant Dave Greig said one inmate, Regan Reti, 20, had just been sent to prison for more than two years after being convicted of assault.

The other inmate, Tiranara White, 21, was in custody for allegedly stealing a car and violating parole.

"As they were being led from the Hastings police cells ... they made a bolt for freedom," Mr Greig said.

"They fell over and were sprayed with pepper spray. But they got up and ran out of the court on to the street, across the road to a carpark. That's where they met the pole - it was all over, Rover".


The pair were back in court yesterday, facing fresh charges of escaping from custody.

Police said Reti, who pleaded guilty to the charge, had a month added to his prison term. White did not enter a plea. He will remain in police custody while a psychiatric evaluation is carried out.

Footage of the event shown on One News was billed as "one of the worst escape attempts ever seen".

You do the search and then you find someone has posted it up without the details! Gee I give up.

Presumably this evaluation will be to check whether he has ANY brain at all in there.....? :weird:

[sunhuntin]

sounds like something out of keystone kops or something along those lines.

someone send it to funniest home videos! hope they show it on the news... those without net connections deserve to have a laugh as well.

[Ragingrob]

Haha and as I said in the other thread... It was on the news last night in Melbourne as "New Zealand's new claim to fame". I hid my face :dodge:

Bloody Aussies!

More like the duo of DUMB AND DUMBER on the movie:bash:
A bloody good laugh though:laugh:

Only a month added to his 2 year prison term!

Worth attempting a runner then if that's the only deterent.

[Finn]

Don't you think it's also embarrassing that they managed to escape in the first place?

[Laava]

Cue the Benny Hill chase music!

Much like the guys who escaped from Mt Eden prison about a year ago. By tying sheets together and climbing out the window.

One could be excused for thinking that possibility may have crossed the prison gaurds minds at some point.

Next escape will be a file in a cake, bet ya.

[JimO]

stupid is as stupid does

[Patrick]

Great shit...:shit:

Bloody coppas... what were they doing? It must have been the cops fault....:innocent:

I heard they are each blaming the other for going the wrong way around the post. Blame the cops man......!!!

[gatch]

FAIL !!

:sherlock: says "its elementary my dear watson, it appears we have a case of some stupid cunts attempting escape"

[McJim]

Prison's gotta be the best place for them I reckon. With shining brains like that I don't much fancy their chances in the real world.

[Mikkel]

Next escape will be a file in a cake, bet ya.

Nah, I am pretty sure that would just result in additional expenses as the prison system pays for a new tooth for Mr. Convict.

na, they have a shiny new file, they can make one..

[Laava]

Sadly, with human rights and all, this episode could spell the end of handcuffs for prisoners as they could serously hurt their little handy-wands!

[PrincessBandit]

Haahaha, saw it on the news - in fact I thought the clip was showing it on a pommy news channel. Reminded me of the time Clive whatshisname (Clive James i think) showed a clip from NZ Crimewatch about a stolen Mk 1 cortina (and gave us absolute a**eholes over it. Really made us look like a bit of an international joke, just like those plonkers.

p.s. the Benny Hill theme music is called "Yakkety Sax", cool piece to play!
