Two men who escaped from prison could be on their way to Liverpool.
Gary Foy, 35, and Christopher Pike, 39, absconded from Ford Open Prison in West Sussex last week and are still on the run from police. It's believed they are both together and may have taken the train to Liverpool.
Foy left his workplace near the prison at around 5.15pm on Tuesday, September 6. He was due back at 10.30pm at the end of his shift and never returned.

Foy is four years into a ten year prison sentence for various offences including aggravated burglary and grievous bodily harm. Christopher Pike was found to have left the prison two days later on Thursday, September 8, at around 9.30am.
Police believe Pike may have used the rail network to travel to London and may continue to Liverpool. A Sussex Police spokesperson said: "From extensive enquiries already completed, it is believed that the pair are together.
"If you see either of these men do not approach them and please dial 999 immediately, quoting serial 1434 of 06/09."
