New images of convicted sex offender Paul Robson
(Picture: Police)New images of convicted sex offender Paul Robson have been released amid the manhunt for the escaped prisoner.
Robson, who has been described as a “danger to women and young children”, escaped from HMP North Sea Camp in Boston, Lincolnshire on Sunday.
The 56-year-old is believed to have a dark donkey jacket with a large collar and blue on the shoulders in his possession.
Police understand the escaped prisoner’s facial hair may not look similar to the image previously released as it may not be tied and could 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.”
At the weekend, the inmate was reported missing from prison shortly before 7am.
Robson is serving a life sentence for attempted rape and indecent assault.
Previously, Detective Chief Superintendent Andy Cox said: “Robson is a dangerous sex offender and while he presents a particular danger to women and young children, I believe he can cause real harm to anyone he comes across.”
