Police are appealing for public assistance to locate two prisoners who escaped from a minimum-security correctional facility in the state’s Riverina area, NSW Police say.
Officers from Albury Local Area Command were called to Albury Street, Tumbarumba, after a stolen Ford Falcon utility truck crashed into a power pole just after 1.30am today (Thursday 16 November 2017).
Inside the vehicle, officers located a green gaol-issued beanie.

It’s believed they may be headed for the Young and Parklea areas.

Norman Lizano has been described as being of Caucasian appearance, 180cm tall, medium build, brown hair and brown eyes, and tattoos on his left shoulder and both arms.
