TWO prison escapees have been recaptured this morning after losing control of a stolen car while evading police.

In what sounds like an episode of the TV drama Prison Break, the two men, 18 and 19, escaped from Port Lincoln Prison just after 7pm last night.

Guards quickly alerted police and authorities searched the local area for the pair.

About 5.50am they were disturbed as they were stealing a Toyota Hilux at Tumby Bay.

Patrols followed the car for 50km as it drove to Port Lincoln. The driver lost control and the car rolled at the corner of Oxley Tce and Sleaford St.

Neither man was injured. They were taken to Port Lincoln Police Station where they were questioned before being charged with escaping lawful custody and illegal use of a motor vehicle.

Both men are medium-security prisoners serving time for dishonesty offences.
