Fiji prison escapee Isoa Waqa has been re-captured.

Waqa was the last of five escapees to be recaptured this morning.

The five broke out of the Naboro Corrections Centre last week and are believed to have gone on a crime spree around the capital.

FBC news reports Waqa was caught around three this morning, along with a girl believed to be his girlfriend.

Both are in custody.
