Northern Territory (NT) police are still searching for a man who fled from the Alice Springs Quarantine Facility on Dec. 1.

At a press conference on Tuesday, NT Police Commissioner Jamie Chalker said that the absconder, 27-year-old Jeremy MacDonald,  is “known to police, and there’s some other activities underway that we believe is incentivising him to stay out of our focus.”
