Police dogs picked up a scent on Victoria Lane, which led them to Randwick Golf Course at Malabar. As golfers continued their Sunday-afternoon rounds, about 20 police and officers from the NSW Department of Corrective Services scoured the course and surrounding rock ledges. One golfer, Mr Damien Daniels, from England, said he believed he saw the two men running towards the clubhouse, just before police arrived. They were jogging pretty fast. I thought it could have been them.
Police believe the men used a rug to scale the fence.
Marouche was jailed in August 1998 for robbery offences. He was due for parole on February 7, 2003. Wooderson was jailed in April 1998 for armed robbery offences. He was due for release on parole on March 31, 2002. A spokesman from the Department of Corrective Services said both men had been in the minimum security section of Long Bay jail, known as the Industry Training Centre, since about June last year.
