New Images Of Escaped Sex Offender Who Could Be Anywhere In Country

New images of a convicted sex offender, who escaped from prison and could be "anywhere in the country", have been released by police.

Paul Robson, aged 56, absconded from HMP North Sea Camp on Sunday (13). He still hasn't been found.

Lincolnshire Police says the search is continuing and it is appealing to the public to help.

Following further enquiries, police now believe Robson has got a dark donkey jacket with a large collar and blue on the shoulders in his possession.

It's also believed that his facial hair might not look similar to the image previously circulated, and that it might not be tied and may be lighter in colour.

East Area Commander, Chief Superintendent Kate Anderson, said:

“It has now been three days since Paul Robson was last seen and we continue to appeal to members of the public for their help to find him.

“We are keeping an open mind as to his current whereabouts and we’re pursuing extensive lines of enquiry based on the information that the public have shared with us so far. We’re grateful to those who have already contacted us, and we would urge people to continue doing so. Any information, no matter how small, is useful in allowing us to build a bigger picture and it leads us closer to taking a dangerous man off our streets.

“We understand there may be concerns around personal safety, but we have allocated a number of resources to this investigation to aid in his swift arrest. Rest assured we are taking this seriously and advise that if you do see him, please contact us immediately and try not to approach him or apprehend him yourself.”

If you have any information, you're urged to call police on 999.
