Police in Britain have appealed for help tracking down an Irishman who is on the run from prison.

Officers said Miles Moorhouse, who has links to Dublin and is described as having an Irish accent, absconded from HMP Sudbury open prison on Wednesday, June 9.

A manhunt is now underway for the 32-year-old who was jailed in Isleworth Crown Court in 2018 for aggravated vehicle theft, burglary at three properties and criminal damage. Moorhouse is described as being white, around 6ft tall with blue eyes and sandy brown hair.

Police also believe he has links to London, Bedford and Essex.
