Botched ATM heist suspect recovering from fractured spine leaves hospital, skips court

A man accused of taking part in a bungled pub heist before crashing a getaway car has failed to appear in court after discharging himself from hospital, prompting a magistrate to issue an arrest warrant.

The 42-year-old, who has not been named as he is yet to formally face charges, was due to face the ACT Magistrates Court on Tuesday, July 7, where the prosecution was expected to seek his extradition to NSW.
