Police said he had already been charged with escaping lawful custody and being unlawfully at large, Section 145(1), Criminal Code, in relation to the escape from the penitentiary.

He was serving a sentence of two years, nine months and three days for crimes that include breaking and entering with intent, possession of property obtained by crime, motor vehicle theft, fleeing from police, dangerous operation of a vehicle, mischief, obstructing a police officer, possession of a weapon contrary to a prohibition order, and failing to attend court.
Halkett is described as 5-foot-8 and 168 pounds with brown eyes and black hair. He has a tattoo on his neck and under his left eye. Police said his hair is longer than in the photo they supplied.
Police said he should not be approached.
