Defendant is no longer 'at large'
A DEFENDANT who escaped from a courthouse in the city and had been on the run for a week has been arrested.
The man absconded while in the custody of gardai in Limerick Courthouse on Mulgrave Street last Thursday, February 8.
His freedom was short-lived as a garda spokesperson confirmed: "The male has been arrested and is currently in garda custody."
It is understood the accused was being taken from the circuit court to the district court when he bolted, ran down the stairs and out the front door of the courthouse.
Gardai gave chase but the accused made good his escape, until now.
