Dutch authorities have said they are “willing and able” to join in the search for an Australian man who escaped from Bali’s Kerobokan jail.
Shaun Edward Davidson and three fellow inmates escaped from the notorious prison in the early hours of Monday morning through a 15m-long and 40cm-wide tunnel.
A Facebook account, believed to be belong to the Australian-native, has since posted that he is “living the dream” from Amsterdam.
“If we only have slight information about fugitives we are always willing and able to trace somebody down,” an Amsterdam police spokesman told news.com.au.
“We do that with a lot of British fugitives,” he added.
With just two months and 15 days left to go of his one year jail sentence for using another’s man passport, Mr Davidson’s escape has shocked many.
Some are suggesting he escaped to avoid returning to Australia, where a warrant still stands for his arrest after being charged with possession of drugs with intent to sell or supply.
Two of the four prisoners who also crawled to freedom have since been located and arrested.
Bulgarian Dimitar Nikolov Iliev, who was serving seven years for ATM skimming activities and Indian Sayed Mohammed Said, who was jailed for 14 years on drug smuggling charges, were located at a luxury hotel in Dili, the capital of East Timor.
Chief superintendent Henrique da Costa said the men had been apprehended at the Novo Turismo Resort and Spa, a four and a half star hotel that boasts “pool view rooms” and “presidential suites.”
He added that the men were arrested for illegally entering East Timor without proper documentation.
“We are holding them for that. We are questioning them now,” he said.
“We confirm that two men we arrested are the two escapees based on the photos of the men and their names.”
Malaysian man Tee Kok King, who was serving seven-and-a-half years for drug offences, also remains at large.
