POLICE chasing a dangerous escaped sex offender have blocked access to a north Queensland community and are telling residents to secure their houses.
Officers have blocked the only road to the north Townsville suburb of Pallarenda where they believe 25-year-old convicted sex offender Tyrone Speechley is hiding.
Queensland Police Media have tweeted that residents of the suburb should secure their houses and report anything suspicious.
Fellow escaped prison farm resident Algana Tiers, 26, was taken into custody near bushland at Pallarenda shortly before 11.30am (AEST) on Tues.
A manhunt was launched after the pair removed their GPS tracking devices and left their accommodation at the Townsville Correction Centre farm on Monday night.
The men were recently released into the community under supervision and both have absconded before.
Opposition Leader Annastacia Palaszczuk criticised Police Minister Jack Dempsey for failing to alert the public for three hours.
"Not good enough," she told reporters.
The escape, as well as that of two teens on the weekend from a bootcamp, shows the state government's cuts are hurting corrective services, Ms Palaszczuk said.
"We're seeing the pressure felt on corrective services."
Ms Palaszczuk is worried corrective services will see more job cuts or jails privatised when the government's response to the Costello report into the state's finances is handed down next week.
