ONE of two prison escapees from Hanzhong City, Shaanxi Province, was arrested yesterday elsewhere in the province, China News Service reported.

Li Baohua, 37, was arrested in a shopping mall in Weinan City in the northwestern province. Li and Zhang Guoxian, 38, escaped on Sunday by sawing through a grille over a sewerage pipe.

The Henan Province natives then separated and Li climbed on a freight train to Chongqing Municipality, took a truck to Shiquan County and in Weinan tried to take a taxi without paying. He was recognized by the driver who reported him to police.

Hanzhong police had offered a reward of 100,000 yuan (US$14,620) for information leading to their capture.

Li was imprisoned for drug trafficking on September 5, 2007, while Zhang was jailed for robbery on March 9 of the same year, the report said.
