Police are warning the public not to approach a prisoner who escaped from
Bandyup Women's prison this afternoon in a daring ram-raid.
Police say the incident happened just after 3.00pm ASWT this afternoon when
a car drove up the side of the prison in West Swan Road and rammed into a
gate.
An eyewitness, who did not want to be named, says the whole incident took
less than a minute.
"He proceeded to do a couple of donuts and then t-boned the access gate
over there and reversed back and went straight through it again and next
thing a young girl climbed over the fence and they both ran off up the
track here and then another car came in and picked them up and took them
off here," he said.
Police have arrested one of the men involved but the escapee, 30 year-old
Tanya Maria Talbot, who has an extensive criminal record, is still at large.
