Gold Coast police say they have been approached about the possible surrender of an escaped prisoner.
Madison Jo Randell, 18, broke away from a police escort at the Gold Coast Hospital on Thursday night and police suspect he has been involved in two armed robberies over the weekend.
Superintendent Jim Keogh says a person contacted police on Friday, but there has been no further approach.
He says police sighted a stolen car used in the robberies at Nerang late yesterday.
"At this stage, our search is concentrating on the western suburbs of the Gold Coast, it will be a concentrated effort by the police, they are starting to go through the inquiries looking at friends, relatives and associates of the offenders," he said.
