Police have recaptured a prisoner who escaped from Cessnock Gaol almost two weeks ago.
18-year-old Jake Nunn escaped from a minimum security section of the gaol on Friday September 21.
Acting on information from the community, officers went to a home in Burnett Street Cessnock yesterday and spotted a man running away.
They chased after him and found the man hiding in a wardrobe in the bedroom of a home in Scott Street.
He's expected to face Maitland Local Court today charged with 8 offences including escaping lawful custody and 2 counts of car stealing and driving while disqualified.
