Gardai will this morning question escaped convict Adrian Duke, who was arrested in Waterford city centre last night.

The 29-year-old from Cork city escaped on Thursday after an armed gang intercepted the minibus in which he was travelling from Waterford to Cork and demanded his release.

He was apprehended shortly after 10.30pm at a house in the Glenterrace area.

Duke is being detained at Waterford garda station under Section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act and will be questioned about the elaborate break later this morning.
