Goulburn escapee Christopher Gibbs is back in police custody after trying to flee from officers at a shopping mall in Erina on the NSW Central Coast.

Gibbs had been on the run for more than two weeks until yesterday afternoon when a plain clothes officer recognised him and called for additional resources.

Superintendent Gary Worboys from Goulburn Police says just before three o'clock officers approached the convicted armed robber outside a store at Erina.
 
Police are still adamant that Gibbs went to ground in Goulburn after his escape seeking refuge in nearby bushland and then came out after nightfall allegedly stealing a vehicle.

He then drove to Lithgow, Bathurst then south to Griffith and then further south towards the Victorian border.

Superintendent Worboys says there was also a sighting at Ulladulla late Tuesday afternoon.

Gibbs has been charged with escaping lawful custody and a number of theft offences and will face Gosford Court today.

In the meantime which jail he returns to will be a matter for Corrective Services.

The driver of a Ford utility who was seen doing a burnout while leaving the North McDonalds car park has had his vehicle confiscated and licences suspended.

The incident happened just before midnight last Wednesday whilst Goulburn Highway Patrol Officers were driving through the area. 

The man has also been issued with a Field Court Attendance notice.

A Marulan man driving unlicensed has allegedly returned a blood alcohol reading of point 106.

Police stopped the man's vehicle just after 9:30pm on Friday night along Station Street.

He's been charged with driving whilst disqualified as well as driving with a mid range PCA and will appear before Goulburn Local Court on May 8.
