Convicted armed robber Kevin Polwart, has had another nine
months added to the sentence he was serving before his escape
from Auckland Prison at Paremoremo in December.
Polwart, 49, was recaptured last Thursday after a tip off
from the public and appeared in the North Shore District
Court today where he was sentenced to nine months in prison
for escaping from custody.
Polwart escaped by cutting through two wire perimeter fences
and leaving the message "catch me if you can".
Polwart was eight years into a sentence for the armed robbery
of a security van and related offences. It's understood he
was 14 months away from being considered for parole.
