During the night of December 6–7, police officers from the Patrol and Intervention Unit of the Bolesławiec police station spotted a man in one of the housing estates. When he saw the police car, he panicked and began to flee.

When the 22-year-old was detained, it turned out that he should have already been in prison for several days. The man had failed to return from leave to the remand centre in Jelenia Góra, where he still has three months of imprisonment to serve.

The fugitive had been sentenced to prison for breaching a court ban, possessing narcotic substances and numerous traffic offences.

The 22-year-old has already been taken to the remand centre in Jelenia Góra.
