A BRITISH criminal thug, who spent five months on the run after escaping a Portuguese prison using a ladder, has finally been caught.
Mark Roscaleer was seized by cops on Spain’s Costa Blanca while he was brazenly riding around in a Porsche.

The violent prisoner was caught on CCTV scaling a 20-foot jail wall – at Vale de Judeus Prison in Alcoentre near Lisbon – last September.
Roscaleer was part of a mass prison escape along with four other inmates.
The British thug was caught with one of the other four escapees – convicted Argentinian bank robber and suspected child kidnapper and killer Rodolfo Lohrmann.
Roscaleer had been jailed in June 2020 and was serving nine years behind bars for kidnap and robbery.
