Police have launched a manhunt to find a convicted killer who has escaped from jail for the second time in four years.
Gatekeepers News reports that the violent thug and convicted killer, Shane Farrington was last seen at HMP Thorn Cross in Warrington, Cheshire at around 6.45 pm last night.
Cheshire Police after launching a manhunt is warning the public not to approach him. They further urged anyone with information as to his whereabouts to get in touch with them.
In September 2008, Farrington was convicted of attacking and killing a prison in his cell at HMP Peterborough.
He, thereafter, broke out of prison in 2018, when he gave officers the slip while being treated for a head injury at a Norfolk hospital.
On that occasion, Farrington ran through car parks, a farmer’s field, and Norwich City’s training ground before he was caught by police around two hours later.
According to Police, he was last seen wearing a dark top with white writing on the front, blue jeans, black shoes, and a dark coat. He was also carrying a dark rucksack, and also known to have links within the Peterborough area.
Superintendent Mike Evans said, “We currently have numerous officers carrying out a variety of searches to locate Farrington.
“While our enquiries are ongoing we’re urging anyone who sees Farrington to not approach him but to instead call Cheshire Constabulary immediately on 999 quoting IML 1230000.
“Officers will be maintaining a presence around the prison and in the local area to provide reassurance to the community. If you have any concerns please do speak to one of them.”
