Aussie Woman Escapes Hotel Quarantine in Cairns
Police have revealed that they are taking action after a woman who travelled to Queensland from Sydney on July 1 broke out of hotel quarantine.
Queensland Deputy Police Commissioner Steve Gollschewski said the woman was found to be missing from her room at Cairns’ Pacific International Hotel on Monday.
Police pieced together her escape using CCTV footage.
“Our reconstruction of that, and that includes examining CCTV; it appears that this person has scaled two balconies, gone down an outside staircase, and then has damaged a door to escape,” Gollschewski told reporters on Tuesday.
Gollschewski said police believe the woman kicked in the door, indicating she was “fairly motivated” to escape.
